Summary

VADM Stanforth was the head of ONI Section III during the planning and implementation of the SPARTAN-II program, and was ultimately in charge of all Spartan-field operations early in the Human-Covenant War. After returning to fleet command he continued to support the Spartan project, though his duties turned to bolstering colonial defenses within the Inner Colonies. An able commander who never shied from leading from the front, his fleet was the first to deploy in the defense of Sigma Octanus IV. Though victorious, he would soon be tasked with the impossible: defending Reach itself against the assembled might of the Covenant.

The Fall of Reach

Above Reach, Stanforth helped lead the shattered remnants of a once-proud Navy from his command ship, the Marathon-class cruiser, Leviathan. Fighting to the bitter end, Stanforth was killed when the Covenant fleet broke through the final line of defense.
