Battle of Voi: Difference between revisions

The '''Battle of Voi''' was a ground and aerial engagement between the [[UNSC]], [[UNSCDF]]/[[Covenant Separatist]] alliance and the [[Covenant Loyalists]] at [[Voi]], [[Kenya]], on [[Earth]] in early [[2553]]. <ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level ''[[Tsavo Highway (Level)|Tsavo Highway]]''</ref><ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level ''[[The Storm (Level)|The Storm]]''</ref><ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level ''[[Floodgate (Level)|Floodgate]]''</ref>

After his battle to fight his way up the [[Tsavo Highway (location)|Tsavo Highway]], [[Master Chief]] not only secured the gate to Voi but also a landing zone for [[Commander Keyes|Cmd. Miranda Keyes]] to deploy her Marines. Mounting up with a group of Warthogs, he rode shotgun through the gates to the outside of the Traxus facility where previous Marine counter attacks had failed. Ten marines dismounted from the [[Transport Warthog]]s along with the Chief and then a few remained to operate their [[Warthog| Warthog LRV]] to give them heavy support. The [[Traxus_Factory_Complex_09|Traxus facility]] composed of several areas, each sealed off by a bulk head to allow and deny movement between the areas. After initially infiltrating the facility the first gate was opened, interrupting a [[File]] of [[Jackals]] and [[Grunts]] during one of [[Truth|Truth's]] speeches. They were taken by surprise and quickly gunned down. After quickly hammering through another file of grunts Chief opened the door to a long tunnel heading down the facility. A large group of Grunts, Jackals and a single [[Brute Captain]] guarded the other end of the corridor, along with their reserve [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost RAVs]]. After the combined arms of the Chief, the Warthog and the Marines defeated the defenders, they finally broke through to their first objective.  

[[Master Chief]] soon traveled up to the dock and was joined by another squad of reinforcements led by [[Arbiter (character)|The Arbiter]] and moved through to another section of the Traxus facility, another section held by the Marines. It served as their local command center, their medical station and their ammo dump. It was heavily fortified with numerous defensive points armed with machine guns, but at the other end of the base, where it entered the warehouse, their defensive position was falling. [[Brute]] forces had pushed back through the warehouse, flanking their defensive position. UNSC Forces, now joined by [[Voi_Factory_Workers|Voi dock and factory workers]] and led by the Arbiter and the Chief soon pushed back, retaking the warehouse and defeating large groups of Brutes and even a [[Hunter]] pair before a showdown with a [[Chieftain]] outside. After more tight street to street fighting, they pushed the Covenant forces back to the rocky precipice where the AA gun lay. With no way for the Brutes to retreat and with Lord Hood's attack imminent, it was make or break time. UNSC forces pushed up the hill, fighting off another [[War Chieftain|War Chieftain]], numerous Grunts and Jackals, the Chieftain's pack and several hastily planted Plasma Cannons. After defeating the forces guarding it they destroyed its rapidly overheating core and cooling system to cripple it and waited as [[Lord Hood|Lord Hood's]] attack commenced.
