Battle of Luna

In 2552, during the Human-Covenant War, a battle took place at Luna.

Background
In October 2552, the Prophet of Regret discovered Earth with his fleet. With the discovery, the planet was attacked by Covenant forces.

Battle
Luna's skyhook defense complexes came under attack by the Covenant and were defended by ONI Security personnel. Prototype versions of the ORBITAL-class Mjolnir were rushed into service in order to protect these skyhook complexes.

Other Covenant forces attacked Luna's cities to ensure that the UNSC would not be able to launch a sneak attack from their Lunar military bases. Most if not all of Jonathan Doherty's relatives died in these attacks.

Aftermath
Both Luna and Mars got hit particularly hard compared to other colonies in the Sol system, although they both fared better than Earth. Many habitats on the moon survived the Covenant assault relatively intact.
