For fifteen years, the war continued in much the same way as before; costly victories on the ground for UNSC forces, but total Covenant space superiority. The UNSC managed to deal a heavy blow to the Covenant in 2537 with the destruction of the Covenant manufacturing plant [[K7-49]] in [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]], and again during the [[Siege of the Atlas Moons]] in the same year. However, these victories were offset by the loss of [[New Constantinople]], the loss of its colonies at [[Leonis Minoris]], and the total destruction of the force of SPARTAN-IIIs sent to destroy the Covenant base. | For fifteen years, the war continued in much the same way as before; costly victories on the ground for UNSC forces (even with Spartans in need), but total Covenant space superiority.

Throughout the 2540s, the UNSC was dealt ever greater blows with the death of the SPARTAN-II [[Sheila]] during the [[Battle of Miridem]] in 2544, defeat during the [[Second Battle of Arcadia]] and the [[Siege of Paris IV|loss of Paris IV]] in 2549. One of the UNSC's success was [[Operation: TORPEDO]] in 2545, and even then it was a Pyrrhic victory at best. | Throughout the 2540s, the UNSC was dealt ever greater blows with the death of the SPARTAN-II [[Sheila]] during the [[Battle of Miridem]] in 2544, defeat during the [[Second Battle of Arcadia]] and the [[Siege of Paris IV|loss of Paris IV]] in 2549.
