Between [[2553#March|March 2553]] and [[2557#July|July 2557]], | ===Battle of Draetheus V=== | ||
Between [[2553#March|March 2553]] and [[2557#July|July 2557]] she was stationed, along the Spartan [[Davis (Spartan)|Davis]], in [[X50]], [[Draetheus V]]'s moon, when [[Merg Vol]]' [[Covenant remnant|Covenant]] forces [[Battle of Draetheus V|attacked]] the moon.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''Operation A: Umbra''</ref> Despite the efforts of the UNSC forces, the Covenant managed to surpass them in less than an hour, forcing Palmer to go to Draetheus V to inform the planet of the impending attack.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''Operation B: Tempered Shield''</ref> | |||
When Merg Vol discovered that X50 was actually a [[Forerunner]] artifact capable of destroying planets and used it on Draetheus V, the artifact left the planet unstable and on the verge of collapse. When Palmer was informed that she could only save less than 40% of the population of the planet, she refused to accept that situation and planned to take the Covenant landing zones on the planet, taking their ships and use them to evacuate the planet. The plan succeeded and she managed to save more lives than initially planned.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''Operation D: Captured Chance''</ref> | |||
The UNSC informed Palmer that she had one last mission: go to X50 and kill Merg Vol. Knowing that Merg Vol was aware of the defeat of his forces on the planet and that he would shoot down any ship that get out of Draetheus V except of his lieutenants, Palmer and a handful of Marines captured the Phantom of one of Merg's lieutenants, [[Parg Vol]]. After this, Palmer infiltrated in the Covenant base on the moon and eliminated the rest of the Merg's lieutenants. Palmer went to the site of activation of the device, where she faced Merg Vol. Despite the possibilities, Palmer killed Merg Vol and destroyed the artifact. After this, Palmer and the Marines escaped the moon moments before X50 was destroyed along Draetheus V.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''Operation E: Frostbite''</ref> | |||
