Unfortunately, the ''Accra'' was discovered by Covenant probes and the carriers released fighter craft to engage the prowler. Although it attempted to speed up and activate its [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace drive]], the fighter ships outstripped the prowler and began firing. Desperately, the ''Accra'' fired twenty escape pods, but the ship was destroyed. | Unfortunately, the ''Accra'' was discovered by Covenant probes and the carriers released fighter craft to engage the prowler.

It was assumed that all citizens on Bliss died before they could evacuate. The Covenant ships finished glassing the planet and left just as quickly as they came. The {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}} arrived after the battle and recovered the data logs of the ''Accra'' in its last moments, which revealed the entire battle. | It was assumed that all citizens on Bliss died before they could evacuate.

Before news of the planet's destruction was presented to the Outer Colony leaders, they laughed at the UNSC's warnings of the Covenant threat, thinking that it was just ONI propaganda and an attempt to fool them to submit to UNSC rule. However, when the ''Accra'' log became publicized, the Outer Colonies realized the UNSC wasn't lying and began negotiating with them. Arguably, if the battle had never happened, the Outer Colonies would probably have joined the UNSC much later, which would have lost them precious time for preparations. | Before news of the planet's destruction was presented to the Outer Colony leaders, they laughed at the UNSC's warnings of the Covenant threat, thinking that it was just ONI propaganda and an attempt to fool them to submit to UNSC rule.
