Note - Happens right before the events of Haylo 2.

The year is 2569, and the U.N.S.C. is once more on the verge of collapse. With only a handful of colonies left, hope seems lost. On board the U.N.S.C. Destroyer Equis, the crew must live with the horrors of war on daily basis, seeing friends die, and ponies and humans alike get slaughtered by the Covenant. To make matters worse, the Covenant have found a new Halo ring, and are attempting to activate it.

But, even in these dark times, there is hope...

As a joint special operations task force, named Task Force Omega, which is made up of several Special Ops Elites, ODST's, Spartan-IV's, and Freelancers, is deployed on the ring to observe the Covenant, and to wreck havoc behind enemy lines, before the rest of the UNSC forces are deployed.
