The Battle of LP 656-38 e was a ground battle in the Forerunner-Flood War.

LP 656-38 e was attacked by the Flood, and 9,045 Forerunner survivors on the planet barricaded themselves in the planet's central government building, which was deemed inadequate to withstand an extended siege by the enemy ground forces numbering 1,572,034,315+. It was estimated that the govenment building would be overrun in less than a week. 846 smaller groups took refuge in less defensible structures according to Probability Model Zeta. It was estimated that these structures would be overrun in an average of 9 hours.
