However, before the fleet could invade Earth, in [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], six [[SPARTAN-II]] Supersoldiers were able to rout and destroy all but a dozen of a fleet of 500 Covenant Starships at the sacrifice of [[Danforth Whitcomb|Admiral Whitcomb]] and [[Elias Haverson|Lieutenant Haverson]] onboard ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. The survivors onboard the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} surveyed the damage and jumped to Earth, scoring a major UNSC victory. This slowed down Truth's efforts to assault Earth, forcing him to rebuild the fleet. | ||
Not long after, the [[Prophet of Regret]] discovered the location of the [[Portal]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. Unaware of the fact the planet was humanity's homeworld, he took a small [[Task Force]] of 15 ships to Earth. Meanwhile, the [[Supreme Commander|Commander]] of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]], the future [[Arbiter (Title)|Arbiter]], who was tasked with defending Installation 04 was put on trial and marked as a [[Heretic]] to quell discontent within the [[High Council]]. Later, he became the Arbiter, embarking on a mission to quell a [[Heretics|Heretic]] insurgency by [[Sesa Refumee]], and a mission to retrieve the [[Index]] and the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Oracle]]. | Not long after, the [[Prophet of Regret]] discovered the location of the [[Portal]] to [[Installation 00|the Ark]].

The [[Battle of Earth]] then occurred, as Regret engaged the UNSC above Earth despite being greatly outnumbered. Though a relatively small and lopsided battle, (15 Covenant ships fighting 75 UNSC vessels and 300 [[MAC]] platforms), this event is significant in that the Covenant finally discovered the location of Earth. The UNSC emerged victorious over Regret's forces on the ground, and converged on Regret's ship, which was holding position where the gateway to the Ark was supposedly located, with the intent of capturing the | The [[Battle of Earth]] then occurred, as Regret engaged the UNSC above Earth despite being greatly outnumbered.

The UNSC emerged victorious over Regret's forces on the ground, and converged on Regret's ship, which was holding position where the gateway to the Ark was supposedly located, with the intent of capturing the Hierarch. However, Regret managed to discover the location of the next Halo ring, [[Installation 05]] during the battle, and retreated to the new Halo. However, the battle was not over as Covenant reinforcements sent by Truth arrived just after Regret jumped, and assumed control over the battle. | ||
