Camber was a major manufacturing center for [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] fleet materials. As such, it held critical importance to the UNSC war effort and maintained its own grid of [[orbital defense platform]]s, as well as a formidable defensive fleet that included {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}}s and {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}}s. In one of the planet's cities, the UNSC had a key system headquarters where the [[3rd Battalion Reserves]] were stationed.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}} | |||

{{Main|Battle of Camber}} | |||
At some point during the [[Human-Covenant War]], Camber's location was discovered by the [[Covenant]], sending [[Thel 'Vadamee]]'s [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] to cleanse the planet of its human inhabitants. 'Vadamee and his fleet caught UNSC forces completely unprepared, penetrating the defensive fleet's early warning perimeter without alerting UNSC forces. After diverting seventeen of his ships to target key ground targets, 'Vadamee himself participated in the attack on the UNSC's headquarters. The battle was over shortly and Camber was [[glassing|glassed]], with only 81,313 of the orignal 5.6 million population surviving.{{Ref/Reuse|Term2}} | |||
