A | Over the next week, Covenant ground forces landed on the planet and Covenant ships began [[glassing]] targeted areas. A battle broke out in the city of [[New Alexandria]], with large numbers of civilian evacuation transports being shot down by Covenant air and ground forces. Elements from [[Noble Team]] assisted Army and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] forces in clearing evacuation zones, succeeding in damaging a [[Covenant corvette]] in the process. Though UNSC forces ultimately succeeded in clearing the city of Covenant troops, Covenant naval assets began to glass the city, and [[Catherine-B320|one member]] of Noble Team was killed by sniper fire while redeploying. | ||
Redeployed, Noble Team and a small force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were ordered to destroy the Covenant-occupied [[Sword Base]] in a scorched earth operation. Proceeding into the base, the team encountered Doctor [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey]], who enlisted their help in defending her laboratory amid the ruins of a [[Forerunner]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|complex]] from advancing Covenant forces. Halsey ordered [[SPARTAN-B312]] to transport a fragment of the A.I. [[Cortana]] to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, while [[Jun-A266]] escorted her to [[CASTLE Base]] elsewhere on Reach. Even as August 30th dawned, however, a second, much larger [[Fleet of Particular Justice|Covenant fleet]] was detected exiting [[Slipstream Space]] on the edge of the system. | Redeployed, Noble Team and a small force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were ordered to destroy the Covenant-occupied [[Sword Base]] in a scorched earth operation.
