In [[2526#March| March 2526]], the five intrusion corvettes of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]] led [[Battle of Seoba|an assault]] on Seoba, under the direction of Tel 'Szatulai. The First Blade was distressed by the seemingly superior [[Stealth ablative coating|stealth systems]] employed by the UNSC prowlers,{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} so he had one shot down to be recovered for study.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}} Called the UNSC ''Starry Night'', [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]] led eleven other Spartans to search for any surviving crew. Two of 'Szatulai's intrusion corvettes reached the prowler shortly before the Spartans, and began firing on the supersoldiers and deploying [[Bloodstars|troops]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}} Due to the turncoat [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Hector Nyeto]]'s efforts to get the Spartan-IIs killed, he purposefully held off on attacking the intrusion corvettes under guise of waiting to get into a perfect position. Eventually, two of the corvettes were destroyed by the UNSC prowlers while a third was caught in the blast of the ''Starry Night''{{'}}s [[self-destruct]] as it hovered above the downed vessel, trying to recover it.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} | In [[2526#March| March 2526]], the five intrusion corvettes of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]] led [[Battle of Seoba|an assault]] on Seoba, under the direction of Tel 'Szatulai.
