The base was attacked twice while it was in the hands of the UNSC. The first attack was from a large number of Ghosts. | The base was attacked twice while it was in the hands of the UNSC. The first attack was from a large number of Ghosts, approximately 100. Silva ordered the pickets to pull back, Companies A and D to form an infantry square, and the backup ammo to get below ground level. In adiitoin, the assault wepaons were sent to the pits, launchers up the slope, and the snipers on the pad. Silva based this procedure on the ancient Roman strategy of a "box" formation. Around 30 Marines and ODSTs were killed in its defense but at least 51 Elites and their Ghosts were eliminated. | ||
===Defense of Alpha Base=== | ===[[Battle of Alpha Base|Second Defense of Alpha Base]]=== | ||
The second battle was Zuka 'Zamamee's attempt to get into the base and kill the Master Chief. Approximately 6 Spirit dropships full of Covenant and the traitorous Pelican Charlie 217 full of cloaked commando Elites participated in the attack. The Pelican managed to touch down and release the Elites before it and the landing pad it was on were set aflame. Zamamee and some Elites had already fled and began in search of the Chief though. Meanwhile, before being killed, a valiant Marine gave the AI control of the 50 cals., with which he was successfully able to eliminate 1 Spirit dropship. The remaining dropships released their troops further away from the base and attempted to assault it thus. However, 2 of the Scorpion Tanks were entrenched and were able to cut down some of the onslaught. One of the casualties from the Tanks was the Field Commander of the attack. With their leader dead, all remaining Covenant were either captured, killed, or forced to retreat. Yayap and Zamamee were able to survive by stealing one of the Banshees that the Marines had been able to salvage. | The second battle was Zuka 'Zamamee's attempt to get into the base and kill the Master Chief.
