'''Glacial Perch''', also referred to as '''the Perch''', was a mountain range on [[X50]], the [[moon]] of [[Draetheus V]]. The mountain range had a sharp rock face and was west of [[Research Facility Alpha]] at [[Mirror Flats]].<ref name="mission3">'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 3: Reinforcement of the Perch|Reinforcement of the Perch]]''</ref> | |||
' | ==History== | ||
During the [[Battle of Draetheus V]], [[Merg Vol]] [[Merg Vol's Covenant faction|reformed Covenant]] took control of Glacial Perch, believing it held strategic importance. Meanwhile, Covenant forces were relying on [[Type-25 Spirit]] [[dropship]]s to attack the nearby [[Research Facility Alpha]]. To counter the attacks, [[Edward Davis|Spartan Edward Davis]] and several [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] defeated the Covenant forces at Glacial Perch. Davis established several air defenses on the Perch, including two [[M9 Wolverine]]s.<ref name="mission3"/> | |||
Later in the battle, [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from the [[3rd Helljumper Platoon]] were deployed by the ship {{UNSCShip|Eminent Domain}} onto X50. While the landing zone was less then a mile from Research Facility Alpha, during the landing the ODSTs were scattered across the mountain range. The ODSTs were quickly surrounded by Covenant forces and took heavy losses. Spartan Davis later set out to clear a landing zone for the second wave of ODSTs.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 11: Descend from the Perch|Descend from the Perch]]''</ref> After he wiped out the Covenant forces at the landing zone at the Perch, Davis regrouped with the ODSTs and wiped out the rest of the Covenant forces at the mountain range.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 12: Spirit Graveyard Stand-Off|Spirit Graveyard Stand-Off]]''</ref> | |||
