Template:Battle The Raid of New Alexandria was a major engagement between the UNSC and the Covenant Empire. Major evacuations took place during the battle. It lasted for five days with the result being New Alexandria getting glassed.
Shortly after the destruction of the Long Night of Solace and subsequent reinforcements arriving in orbit the Covenant forces began deploying a large Brute raiding force into New Alexandria which was a heavily populated city. Many civilians were murdered by the Covenant in this raid, leading to UNSC forces to organize an evacuation of the civilians through Traxus tower. The UNSC forces almost defeated the Covenant 5 days into the raid, at this point in the Raid the Covenant had placed 3 Corvettes over the city and were preventing any ships of escaping. After having landing on the planet surface and having travelled towards the city Noble 6 arrived in the middle of the combat and assisted Army troops and ODST's in evacuation. Covenant forces had managed to capture and disable UNSC missile batteries which had been assigned to place cover over civilian ships, and Noble Six supported by an Army unit under Sergeant Major Duvall managed to recapture and activate these batteries, damaging and forcing a withdrawl of a Covenant Corvette so the ships could escape.
A few hours later, the Covenant forces had placed Covenant communications jammers on numerous buildings and Noble Six was tasked with destroying them. During the objective, multiple CCS-class Battlecruisers arrived and started glassing numerous locations in the city. Noble Six succesfully destroyed these and reunited with the rest of Noble Team at ONI Headquaters which he helped evacuate by destroying Anti-Air Shades, but the Covenant glassed the area and killed Kat as Noble Team escaped into a radiation bunker beneath the building where they survived the glassing and later emerged to be picked up by a Pelican.
