Battle of Camber
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Battle The Battle of Camber was a conflict between UNSC and Covenant forces on and around the planet Camber.[1]
Background
'Vadamee and his fleet managed to penetrate the planet's early warning perimeter without alerting UNSC forces. He began his ground and orbital assault before most of the planet was aware of the attack. 17 of 'Vadamee's ships bombarded key defensive positions, while 'Vadamee personally led an attack on the UNSC system headquarters. He first engaged the 3rd Battalion Reserves, who were caught completely unprepared. 'Vadamee ordered his men to wait for the soldiers to prepare to defend themselves before slaughtering them. This later became the first documented proof of Sangheili showing honor towards their human enemies.
Aftermath
The Battle of Camber ended in a Covenant victory. The entire 3rd Battalion Reserves was wiped out along with the majority of Camber's population, leaving only 81,313 known survivors.
