In [[2537]], the [[Covenant]] discovered the [[human]] presence in the [[Leonis Minoris system]], and proceeded to wipe out two of the three colonies there. The [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] rushed to the system's defense with a large force of starships, and won the battle, but at a cost: ten ships were lost in battle against the technologically-superior Covenant, and Admiral Cole was forced to allow the Covenant to destroy two colonies in order to protect the third one. | In [[2537]], the [[Covenant]] discovered the [[human]] presence in the [[Leonis Minoris system]], and proceeded to wipe out two of the three colonies there.
