[[Voro 'Mantakree | Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], a newly appointed [[Covenant]] [[Fleet Master]] [[Zealot]] [[Elite]], arrives at the scene in order to purge Onyx of [[UNSC]] forces and harvest the [[Forerunner]] technology believed to be there. His task force makes contact with the Sentinels, who initiate fire on the ''[[Far Sight Lost]]''. He orders the ''[[Absolution]]'' to perform a precision [[slipspace]] jump to the northern polar areas of Onyx for scouting purposes, and the Sentinels use this to jump through slipspace and then destroy the ''Absolution'' as it exited the slipspace mainstream. Voro orders the fleet to [[Zone 67]] and discovers the Forerunner city and homes in on the human’s location. | [[Voro 'Mantakree | Voro Nar 'Mantakree]], a newly appointed [[Covenant]] [[Fleet Master]] [[Zealot]] [[Elite]], arrives at the scene in order to purge Onyx of [[UNSC]] forces and harvest the [[Forerunner]] technology believed to be there.

Shortly thereafter, [[Admiral Carl "Buster" Patterson | Admiral Patterson]] arrives with [[Battle group Stalingrad]] intending to catch the Covenant off guard. The battle group finishes off several [[Covenant CPV-class Heavy Destroyer | Covenant destroyers]] using [[Archer_missile | Archer missiles]], [[MAC]] rounds, and various nukes. A single destroyer survives, and fires at the UNSC ''[[UNSC Stalingrad | Stalingrad]]'', the flagship of the battle group where Admiral Patterson was commanding from. The battle group launches MAC rounds to finish the ship and the UNSC ''[[UNSC Glasgow Kiss | UNSC Glasgow Kiss]]'' puts itself between the ''Stalingrad'' and the plasma fire. A dozen escape pods popped from her hull and caught three of the four lances of fire.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts Of Onyx]], page 294</ref> | ||
The Covenant destroyer takes multiple hits and flees to the other side of Onyx, leading the UNSC battle group into a trap of twenty Covenant warships. The UNSC ships manage to take out several destroyers, but the Covenant launches a massive volley of plasma. The UNSC ships accelerate into the attack in hopes of emerging too close for a second volley. Five ships survive the volley, of which one, the UNSC ''[[UNSC Iwo Jima |UNSC Iwo Jima]]'', crashes into several enemy ships, taking two out and damaging six others in the resulting explosion. The other four manage to flee to the other side of Onyx. The Sentinels choose this time to attack the Covenant fleet, destroying an additional three destroyers by using Plasma capture and buying the UNSC ships time to retreat and regroup. The Covenant ships attempt to retreat from the gravity of Onyx, using two ships as decoys while the rest pull back.
