Ages of Reclamation: Difference between revisions

The Commander of the Fleet tasked with defending Installation 04 was put on trial, marked as a Heretic to quell discontent within the [[High Council]]. Later, he became [[the Arbiter]], embarking on missions to quell a [[Heretic]] insurgency, and to retrieve the [[Index]] and the [[Oracle|343 Guilty Spark]]. Then, in [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], Six SPARTAN-II supersoldiers were able to rout and destroy all but a dozen or so of a fleet of 500 Covenant starships in orbit around ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' through the sacrifice of [[Admiral Whitcomb]] and [[Lieutenant Haverson]] on board ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. The survivors on board the ''[[UNSC Gettysburg]]'' surveyed the damage and jumped to Earth, scoring a major UNSC victory. The [[First Battle of Earth]] then occured. Though a relatively small and lopsided battle (15 Covenant ships fighting 75 UNSC vessels and 300 MAC platforms) this event is significant in that the Covenant discovered the location of Earth.
