'''UNSC Battle Group India''' was the fleet gathered by [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Admiral Cole]] to attack the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] at the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] in late-March through mid-April, [[2543]]. It was the largest UNSC fleet ever assembled at the time. | '''UNSC Battle Group India''' was the fleet gathered by [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Admiral Cole]] to attack the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] at the [[Battle of Psi Serpentis]] in late-March through mid-April, [[2543]].

Psi Serpentis was the only known combat action that Battle Group India engaged in. At the battle the fleet jumped into the [[Psi Serpentis system]] releasing a large radiation wave. This wave was received by Covenant forces also in-system and proceeded to engage Battle Group India; while the prowler ''Wink of an Eye'' broadcasted its location to India and then jumped to slipspace to lay [[slipspace guidance beacon|guidance beacons]]. | Psi Serpentis was the only known combat action that Battle Group India engaged in.

Battle Group India split into two wings rushing around the gas giant prompting the Covenant fleet to do the same. However, one wing made an emergency orbital burn to catch the other half of Battle Group India to blind-side the now split Covenant fleet. The battle group decimated one-half of the Covenant fleet while only losing a third of their number, statistically significant comparatively to the rest of [[Human-Covenant War]]. | Battle Group India split into two wings rushing around the gas giant prompting the Covenant fleet to do the same.

As India was making another pass, the Covenant fleet reorganized and caused considerable losses to Battle Group India. Shortly after an independent/Insurrectionist fleet lead by the ''[[Bellicose]]'' attacked the Covenant preventing the complete destruction of India. The ''Bellicose''-led fleet jumped away as another Covenant fleet of over 200 ships-of-the-line jumped in around Viperidae. It was at this point Admiral Cole ordered the retreat of Battle Group India. | As India was making another pass, the Covenant fleet reorganized and caused considerable losses to Battle Group India.

However, ''Everest'' stayed behind, trapping herself in Viperidae's gravity well. Cole broadcasted several taunts towards the Covenant. Both Covenant fleets moved to engage ''Everest'' as the super-heavy cruiser launched all its nukes. A few of the nukes destroyed the lead Covenant ship, but the majority, over one hundred, went into Viperidae's core and detonated. The massive super-giant temporarily began fusion of the hydrogen in its atmosphere. The resulting firestorm destroyed both Covenant fleets in their entirety and [[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.|supposedly]] along with UNSC ''Everest'' and Admiral Cole. | However, ''Everest'' stayed behind, trapping herself in Viperidae's gravity well.
