With the Covenant air forces eliminated, Sword Base is able to launch two [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] to attack the corvette directly. The corvette quickly attempted to make a retreat. As the corvette flies over the water, a Super [[MAC]] round is fired from an [[orbital defense platform]], punching a hole through the ship and sending it plummeting to the surface, ending the Covenant attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=osb}} | With the Covenant air forces eliminated, Sword Base is able to launch two [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] to attack the corvette directly.
