Draetheus system mapping

Assault on CF-32

The northern continent of X50, Draetheus-V's moon, was riddled with large ice-covered sinkholes where the UNSC conducted a number of research projects. While there were standard security measures in place, no one was prepared when a massive fleet of Covenant Spirits appeared over the moon in direct violation of the Human/Covenant Treaty of 2552.

Spartan Davis deployed to site CF32 to support the project's security detail, who were overwhelmed by the sudden attack. Davis managed to blunt the assault and moved to secure Alpha Facility, which he assumed was the inevitable target of the invasion force.

The Mirror Mantle Counter-Assault

X50's huge stretches of ice, the Mirror Flats, were flanked by towering ice cliffs. After ordering their main Wraith battalion to assault Research Facility Alpha, the Covenant had quickly deployed Phantoms to set up supporting artillery along the eastern cliff wall. With this artillery operational, a UNSC counter-offensive would be suicide. This rendered Alpha facility a vulnerable target.

Spartan Palmer and a detachment of Marines were sent to infiltrate the Covenant positions and destroy the plasma artillery. Navigating the maze of cracks covering Mirror Mantle Ridge would have been an insurmountable challenge for most soldiers, but Palmer was able to use the terrain to her advantage and surprise the artillery positions. Here victory was instrumental in giving Alpha facility a fighting chance.

Siege of Faraday

Although Spartan Palmer was successful in warning Draetheus-V of the coming attack, the Covenant assault hit the colonies' defenses like a tidal wave. Draetheus-V's main outpost. Faraday Base, was located on the border of an expanse of dense vegetation to the north and an enormous rock plateau to the south.

When the Covenant invasion force eventually arrived, the first defense lines surrounding Faraday were quickly breached before the base's sentry turrets were fully operational. Palmer took to the field and almost singlehandedly held off the waves of Unggoy suicide units crashing down on the thick concrete wall behind the defense lines.

Reactor Field Relief

UNSC technicians had built numerous magnetic reactor stations across Draetheus V. The western reactor field was one of the largest of these stations and was of great interest to the Covenant. Luckily, the trench-like layout of the reactor field provided the Marines stationed there with a terrain advantage and Covenant infantry platoons had significant difficulty in seizing the station.

After supporting the Marines at Faraday, Spartan Sarah Palmer moved to provide support in the western reactor field. Palmer's prime objectives were to protect several squads of M9 Wolverines and halt the Banshees providing air support to the Covenant infantry.

Hunt for the Sangheili Command

After Faraday Base's defenses were stabilized, Spartan Palmer began trying to establish the location of the Covenant officers leading the invasion.

After taking significant losses, marines of the 21st Scout platoon had managed to uncover a set of promising coordinates. These commanders' locations were well hidden by Draetheus V's unique magnetic signatures. Without Palmer, the officers might have remained hidden for days. She found them within 30 minutes.

character locations

  • Jersey Morelli and Janissary James - New Jersey
    • Chapter 9 mentions Kamal needing to head to New Jersey. This is in reference to having to go meet Jersey Morelli. This is reiterated in Chapter 10 with Kamal being told that a driver at Jerry's Diner (possibly in Pittsburgh) will take him to New Jersey. When Kamal and Jersey meet, Jersey makes a sarcastic remark about heading to Atlantic City. When Jersey meets Rani in Boston in Chapter 10, he has NYC on his bags, something that Rani notices immediately. Also, he has an NYC accent something that Jersey himself mentions. As for Janissary, Jersey and Janissary live in the same building as mentioned in Chapter 1. Also when Durga brings up the emergency call it is for Bergen County, New Jersey which is on the western banks of the Hudson in the NYC area.
  • Rani Sobeck - Boston, Kentucky, and Washington DC
    • Sarah and Rani talk about leaving Boston in Chapter 10.

other info

  • Chapter 9, public health law requires people to be tested for intestinal TB if they are exposed to it. Testing costs money
