The battle of Venezia was a conflict fought on, and around, the colony world of Venezia between the Banished and an allied force consisting of the United Nations Space Command and Swords of Sanghelios. The battle took place on November 21, 2559, two weeks after the destruction of the Jiralhanae homeworld Doisac by the Created. The engagement initially began as an attempted capture of the San'Shyuum High Lord Dovo Nesto by the UNSC/Swords, though by chance his Banished allies were present on the planet and managed to evacuate him into space. As such, the fighting spilled out into a larger naval engagement in orbit, pitting the Banished fleet present at Venezia against the two allied capital ships.
