The Covenant fleet arrived at Charybdis IX overwhelming the three [[UNSC Destroyer]]s in orbit. The {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}, a [[Light Frigate]], was nearby as well, but did not take part in the combat. Two of the UNSC Destroyers were almost immediately eliminated, but the {{UNSCShip|Do You Feel Lucky?}} was disabled. | |||
[[Thel 'Vadamee]] proceeded to board the ''Do You Feel Lucky?'', in search of the already wiped navigation data. The Covenant boarders consisted of a group of [[Grunt]]s and 'Vadamee's handpicked team of [[Zealot]]s, including [[Jora 'Konaree]], [[Zhar (Sangheili)|Zhar]], [[Saal]], and [[Veer]]. The [[Humans]] onboard were unable to hold the Covenant back, and the Covenant boarders sustained only light casualties (although 'Konaree was wounded). The Covenant proceeded to glass the planet as the [[Insurrectionist]]s on the planet vainly attempted to resist. | |||

Charybdis IX was | Charybdis IX was glassed, and its entire population killed. The ''Midsummer Night'' was able to retreat from the battle without arousing any Covenant suspicion. | ||
Following the battle, the [[High Prophet of Regret]] dispatched Thel 'Vadamee to [[23 Librae]] to find and eliminate the source of [[Covenant Weaponry]] modified for Human use. This led to the [[Battle of the Rubble]] in which the ''Midsummer Night'' and the Rebels were able to defeat 'Vadamee and destroy the [[Jackal]] and Grunt forces, scoring a major Human victory. | |||
