While the Battle of New Harmony was one of the few naval victories for the UNSC, the engagement has also been referred to as the '''fall of New Harmony'''. As the battle resulted in [[civilian]] casualties on New Harmony,{{Ref/Reuse|kat}} the Covenant may have proved victorious on the world's surface.
