== | The Covenant arrived in the [[23 Librae]] system in [[2528]]. While the [[United Nations Space Command]] battled the Covenant, it was the planet's [[insurrectionist]]s and rebels that had gathered the planet's civilians and helped them escape the [[Fall of Madrigal]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 70''</ref> Many civilians of Madrigal evacuated the planet aboard [[freighter]]s and cargo ships.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 41''</ref> The [[Sangheili]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, a future [[Arbiter]], participated in the destruction of Madrigal.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 146''</ref> Despite being prepared for the Covenant since Harvest was glassed in [[2525]], Madrigal's defenses failed.<ref name="cp72"/> Madrigal became the sixth human colony to be [[glassed]] by the Covenant, following [[Second Base]], [[Green Hills]], [[Bliss]] and [[Biko]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', [[data pads]]</ref> The survivors fled to the asteroids trailing the nearby gas giant [[Hesiod]], which they nicknamed [[the Rubble]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 11''</ref> | ||
In [[2535]], Covenant ships, the ''[[Retribution's Thunder]]'' and ''[[A Psalm Every Day]]'', entered the system in search for [[Kig-Yar]] "rebels" hiding in the Rubble. The Covenant searched Madrigal's surface to make sure the Kig-Yar were not hiding on the planet.<ref name="cp155"/> With help from the crew of the [[UNSC light frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCship|Midsummer Night}} and [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN]] [[Gray Team]], the Rubble was evacuated after the [[Battle of the Rubble|battles of the Rubble]] and [[Battle of Metisette|Metisette]], using [[Habitat Exodus]] to reach UNSC-controlled space. | |||
