Just before the UNSC offensive began, the Covenant attacked Crow's Nest. Miranda Keyes evacuated and destroyed the base with a [[Unidentified UNSC bomb|bomb]] before it could be occupied.

With the path to the Portal cleared, Fleet Admiral Hood ordered three frigates and multiple [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]] to attack the Forerunner Dreadnought. Despite [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] fire, the enemy ship remained intact and was able to activate the Portal. The Dreadnought and the remaining Covenant ships departed Earth through the resulting Slipspace portal.<ref name="H3Storm">''Halo 3'', campaign level, [[The Storm]]</ref> Covenant battlenet cohesion broke following Truth's departure, allowing UNSC forces in the southwest URNA to begin a major counteroffensive as part of their [[URNA Southwest Campaign|ongoing campaign]].<ref name="lootcrate2"/>
