During the battle, [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were sent to protect the headquarters of a shipbuilding corporation during the evacuation of their shipyards, under the justification that the machines, tools, and personnel that could be saved would be relocated to [[Reach]] to continue building parts for the war effort. As such, the ODSTs were told that they had to hold the perimeter at at all costs. The Covenant deployed [[Unggoy]] against the humans in waves, then followed these waves with [[Kig-Yar Sniper]]s, then [[Jiralhanae]] shock troops, and finally [[Sangheili]] warriors. The Covenant eventually overran the ODSTs through tactical skill.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 172''</ref>

[[Gage Yevgenny]] and another ODST were rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a [[SPARTAN-II program|strange soldier]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|clad in gray-green armor]]. The soldier led the survivors to safety while engaging smaller aliens with impunity and meeting Sangheili and Jiralhanae on equal terms. The ODSTs were led to a stone castle that was being used as the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines']] command center. The Covenant's low-level energy weapons couldn't vaporize or burn the stone, just melt it slightly, making it stronger. Yevgenny soon learned that the soldier was a SPARTAN, part of a top-secret project that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] had recently revealed to the public.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Dirt", ''page 173''</ref>
