The '''Battle of Nuusra''' was a conflict between the remnants of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]], the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] (aided by [[UNSC]] forces), and [[Promethean]] forces on October 27, 2558.{{Ref/Level|Id=SOS|H5G|Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Sanghelios}} | The '''Battle of Nuusra''' was a conflict between the remnants of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]], the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] (aided by [[UNSC]] forces), and [[Promethean]] forces on October 27, 2558.{{Ref/Level|Id=SOS|H5G|[[Swords of Sanghelios (level)|Swords of Sanghelios]]}} | ||

Roughly around the same time, Security officer [[Mahlo 'Turagg]] eventually manages to convince a Covenant [[Unggoy]] to reveal that the Covenant were able to locate the Arbiter at the Elder Council Chambers thanks to [[Murok 'Vadam]] of the Arbiter's own keep. Murok does not resist questioning, perhaps believing that the Arbiter would not execute a member of his own clan. However, this belief is incorrect, as the Arbiter executes Murok for his [[treason]].{{Ref/Reuse|officer}} | Roughly around the same time, Security officer [[Mahlo 'Turagg]] eventually manages to convince a Covenant [[Unggoy]] to reveal that the Covenant were able to locate the Arbiter at the Elder Council Chambers thanks to [[Murok 'Vadam]] of the Arbiter's own keep.

After the initial fight, Murok 'Vadam would be brought before Thel, where he was executed after a brief discussion.{{Ref/Reuse|fifth}} Spartan [[Jameson Locke]] was soon after sent to meet Thel. He would reveal the UNSC's need to access the Guardian at Sunaion, but as it was the last Covenant stronghold on the planet, the Arbiter refused to commit his forces until they could be sure of victory. Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] determined that using a [[Forerunner]] called a [[Constructor]], she could interface with the Guardian and activate it. As Nuusra was filled with support facilities for the Guardian, it would be relatively simple to find one. Fireteam Osiris was redeployed by Pelican to visit one such facility with the Swords of Sanghelios for backup. The Arbiter saw the launch of the Guardian as a chance to crush the Covenant once and for all using the distraction the Covenant soldiers would experience upon the Guardian's launch.{{Ref/Level|Id=alliance|H5G|Alliance}} | After the initial fight, Murok 'Vadam would be brought before Thel, where he was executed after a brief discussion.{{Ref/Reuse|fifth}} Spartan [[Jameson Locke]] was soon after sent to meet Thel.

Reaching the end of the temple ruins, Osiris discovers a canyon with the Forerunner facility on the other side. However, the retreating Kraken enters the canyon and ends up between the Spartans and the Forerunner facility. Spotting nearby [[Phaeton]]s, Osiris decides to help the Arbiter finish off the Kraken and the remaining Covenant forces in Nuusra. Using the Phaetons, the Spartans take out the defenses on the Kraken's main platform and land to assault the power core. Making their way to the Kraken's lowest level, Osiris fires on the power core until it overloads and explodes, and then flees in Banshees. Losing power, the Kraken falls to its demise in the chasm below, taking with it the remaining Covenant forces.{{Ref/Reuse|EL}} | Reaching the end of the temple ruins, Osiris discovers a canyon with the Forerunner facility on the other side.

With the Covenant forces cleared out, Osiris enters the Forerunner structure and attracts a Constructor's attention by damaging a Forerunner terminal. However, the attack also draw the attention of [[Promethean Knight]]s, [[Promethean Watcher|Watchers]] and [[Armiger Soldier|Soldiers]].
