The '''Battle of Ballast'''<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fraggrenade '''Bungie.net''': ''UNSC Weaponry update'']</ref> was a battle that took place on the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] colony of [[Ballast]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. It is unclear if the UNSC or [[Covenant]] forces on the planet won the battle, but [[propaganda]] produced by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] stated that the battle was a UNSC victory.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]'''</ref> Signs on the [[Quito Space Tether]] hint that the colony still existed during the [[Battle for Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer map, ''[[Orbital]]''</ref>

The marine battalion [[E2-BAG/1/7]] was involved in the battle and afterwards provided feedback on munitions used as part of a study entitled ''[[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]]''.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fraggrenade '''Bungie.net''': ''UNSC Weaponry update'']</ref>
