Arriving over [[Sigma Octanus IV]] in response to a possible impending Covenant attack, the ''[[UNSC Iroquois]]'' found itself outmatched by the arrival of a Covenant battle group consisting of one [[Carrier]], one [[Destroyer]], and two [[Frigates]] (medium-sized support ships). This was contrary to the expectation of four medium-sized ships. | Arriving over [[Sigma Octanus IV]] in response to a possible impending Covenant attack, the ''[[UNSC Iroquois]]'' found itself outmatched by the arrival of a Covenant battle group consisting of one [[Carrier]], one [[Destroyer]], and two [[Frigates]] (medium-sized support ships).

Commander Keyes resolved to attack by deciding to set the ''Iroquois'' on a collision course for the destroyer at emergency acceleration while launching a nuclear warhead in what seemed the wrong direction. The two escorting frigates proceeded to launch one [[Plasma Torpedo]] each, but the ''Iroquois'' managed to evade by utilizing the emergency thruster. Having missed their target, the plasma came about and continued to track and home in on the UNSC warship. | Commander Keyes resolved to attack by deciding to set the ''Iroquois'' on a collision course for the destroyer at emergency acceleration while launching a nuclear warhead in what seemed the wrong direction.
