Assigned to Able squad prior to the operation to destroy the GRAF Shield, Noretti was deployed along with Marsh, Marsala and DeLeon to Earth. During the insertion Noretti's landing pod was damaged and spiraled out of control smashing into the ground and killing her on impact. Her death left a deep emotional scar on Marsh's psyche. He began carrying a picture of her in his E-frame as a reminder of the first trooper that was lost under his command.
