During Draetheus V's colonization Faraday Base was established as the main military facility on the planet. During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]], when the [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction|Covenant]] invasion force arrived, the first defense lines surrounding Faraday were quickly breached before the base's sentry turrets were fully operational. [[SPARTAN-IV | During Draetheus V's colonization Faraday Base was established as the main military facility on the planet. During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]] in [[2554]], when the [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction|Covenant]] invasion force arrived, the first defense lines surrounding Faraday were quickly breached before the base's sentry turrets were fully operational. [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] took to the field and almost single-handedly held off the waves of [[Unggoy]] [[suicide attack|suicide units]] crashing down on the thick concrete wall behind the defense lines.<ref name="miss6"/> | ||
Later in the battle, some remaining Covenant forces remained around Faraday Base and reinforcements were arriving. Faraday Base had become heavily damaged after the initial attack. In the western sector of the facility, surviving [[UNSC Marines]] had set up defensive positions in preparation for another Covenant assault on the base. Sarah Palmer returned to Faraday Base just before the Covenant forces overran the Marines. Just outside of the base, Palmer secured several [[M312 Elephant]]s. With the Elephants, Palmer returned to the Marines and helped them eliminate the surviving Covenant forces around the base. Palmer and the surviving Marines were then extracted from the base.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 17: Liberation of Faraday|Liberation of Faraday]]''</ref> | Later in the battle, some remaining Covenant forces remained around Faraday Base and reinforcements were arriving.
