I think in the end, the UNSC would win, they have the ships, speed, ODST's, Shipboard AI's, Spartain's, lest we forget, the fraking Covenant, oh and if the need is so great, there may always be one Halo out there, you know, REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But in the end, you can't forget, the forces of Emporer Palpitine, Amdniral Mitth'rawn'urodo, (serious apologies to Timothy Zahn if i messed up the name), A.K.A. Thrawn. Oh, and the Borg, and the Romulins, and the, well the list goes on, and on.

The trouble is, Alliance personnel can only operate in Alliance territory. They have no way to get an Operative behind UNSC lines. All of the fighting will take place in the 'Verse because of this. An Operative may remain behind on a planet taken by the UNSC & try to set up a resistance (oh the irony! Operatives fighting for Independence from a superior force that's come to meddle!), but I still suspect an Operative to be on par with an ODST, and there's gonna be a bunch of them looking for the source of the problems.
Except, like I said, I think Operatives have more infiltration skill and subterfuge ability than the military training you may find in higher end soldiers. Which means they could go underground detected, get into unexpected places... And I don't think all of their skills require Alliance clearance, because I'm sure there's been times they've been sent to assassinate rich businessmen who can afford security who've fled to worlds on the Border or Rim.
It's just an interesting possibility to consider. :)
I agree, the Operatives would be a force to contend with. The point I'm trying to make is this:
There is no way in the 'Verse (Core or Rim, Alliance or Independent) for an Operative to get to any planet that is not within the 50ish rocks that have been terra-formed since leaving Earth-that-was. They simply do not possess FTL capability. The only way for an Operative to get "Behind the lines" is to get to a planet that the UNSC has (or soon will) captured.
All UNSC personnel are required to execute what is referred to as the "Cole Protocol" in the event an FTL capable ship is in danger of capture. In short: Erase all navigation data repeatedly, physically destroy the crystals the data was stored on, and then self destruct. Brutal, requires total commitment of the crew, but damn effective at preventing any "aliens" from finding UNSC planets.
Could an Operative stow away onboard a UNSC ship? Let's say (s)he does. --Sidebar - YoSafBridge as an Operative has potential -- It is unlikely any of the UNSC ships would return to UNSC space until after the fighting was over. Sabotage the ship? OK. Become a big enough problem and still find a way to remain hidden, and there's an increasing probability that the UNSC will transfer it's personnel to another ship & invoke the Cole Protocol.

Hmm, yeah, you have a point. Still, maybe the Operative need not capture the ship. They're not an alien, easy enough to grab a uniform and stay out of sight, just be dismissed as human and some unimportant low level rank, maybe pretend to be part of the mechanical crew. This has the added bonus of them being able to spy on the FTL technology.
Then, when they reach a planet, the Operative goes planet side, and there he begins his work.

I don't know much about halo but i know star trek Federation cause they would be outnumbered also the alliance used laser and the fed, used phasers now i will tell you the diffirace between the 2 i did a paper on that at NASA lasers use a conintrated light of very hight heat.Phasers on the other hand used partical beam now what happends you say when a lasers hit you it just makes a hole in you now when you get hit with a phaser it's so hot it melts down atoms at photones at the metntley strtrue so as soon as you get hit you melt down to nothing.

Halo would kick Firefly's as if it was a fight with soliders and space ships
but as a series, Firefly never really jumped the shark unlike Halo which kinda sucks now
