His fleet was small for an assault, totaling only two [[Assault Carrier]]s and thirteen {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}s. It is thought that he was directed to Earth by a [[Forerunner]] artifact, perhaps the one on [[Coral]] to search for the [[Ark]], but he apparently had no knowledge of a [[UNSC|human]] presence on Earth and that it was his enemy's home world. Nevertheless, he sent [[Ranger Elites]] and [[Boarding Craft]] to destroy the [[Orbital Defense Platform]]s [[Malta]], [[Athens]], and [[Cairo]], so he could push through into the heart of Africa. Despite the [[Master Chief]]'s actions, his ship made it to the ground and deployed the first full-scale invasion force of Covenant on Earth <ref>[[Halo 2]], level [[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]</ref>. | ||
After landing in New Mombasa to search for the Forerunner artifact located on Earth, Regret's forces deployed numerous ground units to further search the city, including a [[Scarab]] tank and many [[Phantom]] Dropships. As [[Spartan-117]] approached his Carrier Regret's ship initiated a [[Slipspace]] jump right in the middle of New Mombasa to escape his pursuers and regroup his attack force. The move was so surprising that only the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} and four [[UNSC Prowler|Prowlers]] were able to follow the Carrier as it jumped and destroyed the city. | After landing in New Mombasa to search for the Forerunner artifact located on Earth, Regret's forces deployed numerous ground units to further search the city, including a [[Scarab]] tank and many [[Phantom]] Dropships.
