The [[ | On [[2525#November|November 27, 2525]], the Covenant vessel ''[[Unrelenting]]'' arrived in the Chi Ceti system. The [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} drove off the former vessel, though both ships were heavily damaged. ''Commonwealth'' remained in orbit as the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-IIs]] received their MJOLNIR armor.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 119''</ref> | ||
Later that day, the Spartans were deployed from the frigate toward a hole that had been blasted into ''Unrelenting'''s hull in an attempt to destroy the vessel from within. Only three Spartans, [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]], and [[Samuel-034]], arrived at the enemy vessel, which they then boarded. Shortly thereafter, Samuel's armor was damaged, leaving him unable to return to the ''Commonwealth''. He stayed behind and detonated an [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL-II missile]], killing himself and destroying ''Unrelenting''.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 152''</ref> When the planet was compromised by the Covenant, the Damascus Testing Facility and a nearby UNSC training center were abandoned.<ref name="ENC298"/> | Later that day, the Spartans were deployed from the frigate toward a hole that had been blasted into ''Unrelenting'''s hull in an attempt to destroy the vessel from within.
