Siege of Dwarka

The Siege of Dwarka was a Covenant attack on the human Outer Colony Dwarka.

Battle
During the battle, Jiralhanae shock troops including Bassus ransacked several residential sectors. He made a cruel display of dead humans in order to demoralize their forces.

Aftermath
At least one freighter was able to escape the planet's destruction, carrying a dozen evacuee children including Thom-A293. This freighter eventually made contact with an Office of Naval Intelligence vessel, resulting in Thom's induction into the SPARTAN-III program.

Following the battle, contact with the colony was lost and for at least some parts of the UNSC, its fate was unknown. Even five years later, it hadn't been revealed, a fact that prompted worry in Lieutenant Jacob Keyes, as his sister lived on the planet.
