In [[2554]], the faction attacked the planet, and [[X50]], and [[Battle of Draetheus V|clashed with the UNSC]] for the [[Forerunner]] relics present there, lead by [[Zealot]] [[Merg Vol]]. Two [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IVs]], [[Sarah Palmer]] and [[Edward Davis]], participated in the campaign. The UNSC was successful in alerting the planet of the remnant's attack and evacuation began. Early in the battle, the faction quickly took control of the moon.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 4: Live to Fight|Live to Fight]]''</ref> | |||
Later in the battle, Merg Vol discovered the true purpose of Draetheus V's moon. It was a Forerunner device that was used to build or destroy planets. The Covenant forces activated the primary weapon of the X50 construct. Directed toward the planet, the beam began to disintegrate Draetheus V, destabilizing it.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''' - ''[[Operation C: Monolith]]''</ref> Enormous slabs of rock were slowly floating away from the planet's surface and both UNSC and Covenant troops were scrambling to get to safety as the UNSC continued to evacuate the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 16: Escape from the Southern Fields|Escape from the Southern Fields]]''</ref> The Covenant continued to attack the planet and the UNSC quickly realized that Draetheus V was ill-prepared for a full evacuation. There was not enough transportation to allow everyone to leave Draetheus V. However, the UNSC raided a Covenant airfield and stole numerous Covenant aircraft. With the help of Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]], 23 Covenant aircraft carrying civilians made it off the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 20: Defense of the Enemies' Airbase|Defense of the Enemies' Airbase]]''</ref> | Later in the battle, Merg Vol discovered the true purpose of Draetheus V's moon.
