==~~Background~~==

==Prelude==

K7-49 was discovered when the prowler {{UNSCShip|Razor's Edge}} ~~was trying~~ to probe an enemy ship during the [[Battle of New Harmony]]. ~~They followed the ship through Slipspace and~~ discovered the asteroid, along with a dozen partially constructed Covenant ships; an orbital shipyard. The volcanism ~~on the planet is~~ artificial; created by high-output plasma reactors that ~~liquefy~~ metallurgical components. ~~They are~~ then refined, shaped, and shipped away for final assembly.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 83''</ref>

K7-49 was discovered when the prowler {{UNSCShip|Razor's Edge}} managed to attach a [[telemetry probe]] an enemy ship during the [[Battle of New Harmony]]. The UNSC discovered the asteroid after the ship's return there, along with a dozen partially constructed Covenant ships, and an orbital shipyard. The asteroid's apparent volcanism was artificial; created by high-output plasma reactors that liquefied metallurgical components.

The mission for the SPARTAN-IIIs was to disable as many reactors as possible so that the liquid contents of the facility would solidify and permanently clog ~~their~~ capacity to produce the metal.

==Aftermath==

Although the mission was a success and K7-49 would no longer be able to build ships, all three hundred members of Alpha Company were killed in the fighting (other than those ~~handpicked~~ by [[Franklin Mendez]]).
