Attack on Ealen IV: Difference between revisions

Following an escalation in [[Jiralhanae]] raiding attacks along the joint-occupation zones, Ealen IV was chosen as a place for peace negotiations between the [[Sangheili]] and Jiralhanae. As [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] was meeting with [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Lydus]], they were attacked by the [[Covenant remnant]] sent on a bounty. [[SPARTAN-IV Program|SPARTAN-IV]]'s [[Fireteam Jackknife]] and [[Fireteam Bailey]] were called in to defend and evacuate the ambassadors.<ref name="HE1"/>

Having received intel on the diplomatic mission and the UNSC personnel involved, Shipmaster [['Gajat]] and his associates led the attack on Ealen IV. The Covenant remnant blasted into the plasma facility's conference chamber in an attempt to assassinate the ambassadors. Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] ordered Jackknife to clear the chamber and help the delegates evacuate. Despite facing heavy resistance from Covenant forces outside, Fireteam Bailey managed to clear a path for the delegates. When their [[DS-004|evacuation shuttle]] was destroyed, the Spartan IV's proceeded to escort the delegation to a nearby parts depot.  Once all were inside, [[Paul DeMarco]] sealed the depot to halt the oncoming Covenant forces. With their communications to their orbiting fleets having been blocked, the delegation were left without reinforcements.<ref name="HE1"/>
