During the battle, Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]] was ambushed by a [[Promethean Knight]] but he was saved by Commander Palmer. With the Promethean's presence, Palmer ordered all UNSC forces to search and find [[Jul 'Mdama]]. Meanwhile, Spartan [[Joel Thomas]] ordered an airstrike on two [[Type-44 Phantom]]s near Palmer's position. Palmer ordered Thorne to get to a [[M12 Warthog LRV]] and pursue the Phantoms, but they were ambushed and pursued by [[Promethean Crawlers]]. They dispatched several of the Crawlers and Palmer jumped out of a cliff, directly above the Phantoms. The Warthog landed on the ground, injuring Thorne, and the Phantoms prepared to shoot their [[Heavy plasma cannon]]s at them. However, a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] appeared, destroying both Phantoms, and saving Palmer's and Thorne's lives. | ||
It was noted that Jul's forces were able to lightly damage the new power station and pause the planet's colonization efforts. | It was noted that Jul's forces were able to lightly damage the new power station and pause the planet's colonization efforts.<ref name="HE13"/> | ||
