Battle of XI Boötis A

The Battle of XI Boötis A was a major battle in the early years of the Human-Covenant War. The human fleet, consisting of 70 ships, engaged 8 enemy warships, destroying the enemy force but losing a total of 30 ships in the process. Although the UNSC lost nearly half their ships, it is still considered one of the few human naval victories of the war. Considering the 43% loss this "victory" is obvious propaganda.
