-At some point in 2526, the Covenant began an assault on Circinius IV, targeting in particular the [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] with three [[SDV-class heavy corvette|''SDV''-class heavy corvettes]]. Locally stationed Marines provided an initial defense of the Academy, and the evacuation of the cadets via the school's [[space elevator]] was begun immediately. The UNSC forces soon deployed [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s directly onto the campus. However, one of the Covenant corvettes fired on the elevator causing it to collapse on the school and halt the evacuation.

 Corbulo's officer cadets were caught off-guard by this attack, scattering into the surrounding areas, and many fought against the Covenant in close combat. [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] supersoldiers [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], [[Frederic-104]] and others later arrived to reinforce the academy's defenses.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=446967395342828&set=a.358715117501390.91320.352002748172627&type=3 Jenna Berman's Facebook wall]</ref>
