During the Covenant Civil War, the Sangheili settlers abandoned the planet, destroying the factories and leaving the Unggoy to fend for themselves. In a rare act of compassion, the Sangheili left the Unggoy foreman, [[Talbel]], in charge and left the Unggoy with a methane supply and a couple of plasma pistols before fleeing to Sanghelios.

Talbel, slightly smarter than most Unggoy, believed that he could create a utopia for the Unggoy workers and set to work. With Talbel leading them, the Unggoy expanded their methane domes under ground to help keep them cool from the sun Yaris Alpha, help contain the methane and reduce their visible presence to the outside galaxy. He salvaged metal and parts from the factories to create a methane generator as well as capturing and breeding slime grubs, an agricultural pest to the Sangheili to help suppliment their diet of fungus. However, the small Unggoy community of two and half thousand Unggoy were all-male and therefore unable to breed and sustain their numbers. After twenty six years all the Unggoy had died from old age, the underground Unggoy utopia was lost never to be discovered again.

In 2602, the [[Neo-Covenant Empire]] took control of the system and after discovering the mineral rich planet, quickly set down and begun exploiting the heavy metal ores. In ten years, the planet was littered with numerous factories and industries operated by over ten thousand Jiralhanae and almost a million Unggoy, producing heavy weaponry and munitions for vehicles. Despite the large number of Jiralhanae warriors, there were two uprising by the Unggoy who rose in defiance of their master. Both rebellions were brutally put down, the bodies of the Unggoy were grotesquely put on display as a warning to their replacements.

However during the Doisac War, Yaris IV, which had been centred suitably away from the frontlines, now found itself under threat of attack and was promptly and mistakienly abandoned, as the Commander of the Garrison believed it to be undefendable from any Sangheili and/or Human aggression.

As rightly believed, the UNSC invaded and occupied the planet. With the frontlines now ninteen light years away, the UNSC opened the planet up to 'hazard colonisation' allowing almost three million civilians. The majority worked in converting the Jiralhanae industries or creating the UNSC factories, such as the AJ-12 Factory, to supply the frontline.

As rightly believed, the UNSC invaded and occupied the planet. With the frontlines now nineteen light years away, the UNSC opened the planet up to 'hazard colonisation' allowing almost three million civilians. The majority worked in converting the Jiralhanae industries or creating the UNSC factories, such as the AJ-12 Factory, to supply the frontline.
The [[Neo-Covenant Empire|Neo-Covenant]] believed that Yaris IV was not out of their hands just yet and after a series of executions and [[Death from Impalement|impalements]], Fleet Master Grenus was chosen to gather the Fleet of Impending Doom and an suitably large invasion force to re-take and fortify the planet. As part of the [[Thek'Lete Campaign]], Grenus was to re-open factories and use his Unggoy soldiers as a labour force to supply the counter-attack.

Secretly, the [[Adraas Warpack]], part of the [[Imperial Special Operations Group]], were tasked to retrieve vital components and data designed to improve the weaponry of the Jiralhanae's projectile weaponry from a secret underground bunker, which was undiscovered by the humans, built under the majority of the factories.

Yaris Iv was relatively defended for a planet of its worth and had a small naval contingent to help protect the planet and convoy's from raids while a modest sized Army divison was supplemented by Colonial Militia made up of the factory workers. The main concern was [[Jiralhanae Spider Holes|Spider holes]], an under ground bunker filled with Jiralhanae warriors, a increasely common feature on the battlefield.

However, South George Strategic Command (SGSC) were swamped with reports of attacks coming from all over the front due to the [[Thek'Lete Campaign]] and their counter-attack was delayed. Soon enough, South George pulled together a large enough fleet to be commanded by Fleet Admiral Leonard Howardstein. Yaris IV had already been scouted both by SGSC and the Office of Naval Intelligence. The ONI had intercepted communications between the Fleet of Impending Doom and a unknown source, believed to be a mobile command station. It referenced 'the facility' which had been 'undiscovered by the heretics'. Concerned, ONI assigned SPARTAN-IV Team Guardian to look for the hidden facility, under the guise of assisting with the counter-attack.

In the few months that Yaris IV had been under UNSC control, construction crews had dug the 'Highway', a wide trench designed to allow heavy mining vehicles to move from mining operation to mining operation. The UNSC ground forces had also added small bunkers and bases along the Highway and many of these bunkers came under attack from Imperial forces almost immediately. The bunkers, however, were prepared and well-designed allowing many of these bunkers to repulse numerous attacks before being forced to fall back.

However within a month, the UNSC forces had been resoundingly beaten by the Imperials and the majority of those surviving, some twenty thousand infantrymen out of a original force of two hundred and fifty thousand Army, Marine and Milita personnel, were under siege in Yaris IV capital city, Trust. Trust had the highest concentration of residental districts, warehouses and industrial units all of which connected to the colonies only spaceport. Nearby, a site was being prepared for the construction of an orbital elevator. It was also the site for the secret underground Imperial bunker.

Trust, however, had a large energy shield that covered the entire city in a dome-shaped protective shield that sheltered it from Imperial attack. The cities energy source fed into the shield, allowing to be constantly on and fully charged. The Imperial continually bombarded the shield requiring the reactors constant energy output, which left none for the beleaguered soldiers and civilians. Many of the soldiers left were wounded in one way or another and triage station dotted the area.

On the 15th of July, the UNSC Reinforcing and Relief Fleet commanded by Fleet Admiral Leonard Howardstein entered the Yaris Alpha System. With a brief engagement, a small squadron slipped passed the Imperial Navy and made for Yaris IV in order to land soldiers. Almost one hundred thousand Marines, including an advanced force of five thousand Orbital Drop Shock Troopers and a six-man SPARTAN Team, were landed across Yaris IV.

This Marine Landing Force fought for large areas of territory with surprised Imperial soldiers (communications between the Imperial Naval contingent and land-based counterparts had been almost non-existant), sercured landing sights for additional reinforcements and as well as capturing a signifigant portion of the Highway, giving the UNSC almost direct access to the capital, Trust.

The advanced force, however ran into difficulties almost immediately after deployment from the UNSC naval vessels. The Imperials had deployed and effective but incredibly expensive anti-drop pod weaponry, that simply filled the area with thousands of point-defence lasers, burning through the armour on the orbital drop pods and caused them to break apart or incinerate the occupants inside. To negate the effectiveness of the weapon, the advanced guard scattered into a larger drop zone. The advanced force, therefore had a difficult time rejoining with their respective units and most just form ad hoc units. Most of these units were often trapped by Imperials and constantly under fire.
