Iron Fist

Iron Fist is the callsign of a Pelican dropship pilot deployed to evacuate SPARTAN Beta-Red team from combat against two Covenant divisions during the Fall of Reach on August 30th, 2552. On approach to Facility Alpha 331, Iron Fist advised Gamma One and Gamma Five to move to an evacuation point fifty kilometers west of their position. As he neared the facility, Iron Fist's Pelican nearly collided with one of three Covenant cruisers that had emerged from cloud cover above the battlefield, desperately making a last-ditch attempt to evacuate Beta-Red. Whether this attempt was successful is unknown.
