In [[2547]], the [[Covenant]] discovered and attacked the planet. [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were called in to defend the headquarters of a shipbuilding corporation during the evacuation of their shipyards, under the justification that the machines, tools, and personnel that could be saved would be relocated to [[Reach]] to continue building parts for the war effort. The Covenant deployed numerous ground troops against the ODSTs, including [[Sangheili]] and [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s. The Covenant eventually overran the ODSTs. | In [[2547]], the [[Covenant]] discovered and attacked the planet.

[[Gage Yevgenny]] and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a [[Spartan-II]]. The soldier led the survivors to safety while engaging the other aliens. The ODSTs were led to a stone castle that was being used as the Marines' command center. The Covenant's low-level energy weapons couldn't vaporize or burn the stone, just melt it slightly, making it stronger. | [[Gage Yevgenny]] and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a [[Spartan-II]].
