Operation: PROMETHEUS

Timeline

 * Day 1: 300 Spartan-IIIs of Alpha Company landed on K7-49 at 0700 on July 27. Their mission was to disable as many of the plasma reactors on the planet as possible. If these reactors were disabled, the shipyard would be shut down. Initially, they encountered light resistance.
 * Day 2: The Spartan-IIIs managed to disable seven of the reactors on the surface. The Covenant responded with the first heavy wave of troops. The first wave contained legions of Jackals.
 * Day 5: By this time, the Spartan-IIIs had disabled 20 of the 30 reactors. The Covenant responded with a second heavy wave of troops. This time, groups of Elites and Banshees.
 * Day 7: 27 of the 30 reactors were disabled. A third heavy wave of Covenant troops arrived. The Spartan-IIIs had fulfilled their mission, however they were cut off from their Calipso exfiltration craft. The Spartans who survived the mission to this point were completely overrun and killed.
