The '''Skirmish at Capella''' was an engagement during the [[Insurrection]] which took place on and around [[Capella]], within the [[Alpha Aurigae system]]. | The '''Skirmish at Capella''' was an engagement during the [[Insurrection]] which took place on and around [[Capella]], within the [[Alpha Aurigae system]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole"'', ''page 453''</ref> It was fought by the [[UNSC Destroyer]] {{UNSCShip|Gorgon}}, commanded by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Preston Cole]], and unknown [[Insurrectionist]] forces. The skirmish came after a period of relative calm, frustrating some who had begun to believe that the Insurrection was drawing to a close. | ||
The final outcome of the skirmish is unknown, however it is presumed to be a UNSC victory. Cole referred to the skirmish as "too damned expensive," as it cost the lives of 32 of the ''Gorgon'''s crew. The ''Gorgon'' needed to be laid up in space dock for a month to repair the damage sustained in the skirmish, during which time her crew was granted a month of leave. | |||
