Battle of Draetheus V

Template:Battle

"The fighting started when a splinter sect of Covenant ignored the Ceasefire of 2552 and attacked UNSC forces. By the time the fighting was done... Well, it didn't end well for the UNSC and Covenant, either one."

— Roland

The Battle of Draetheus V was a military engagement fought between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant remnant on the UNSC research colony of Draetheus V and its moon X50, after the Human-Covenant War. The Covenant came to seize a dormant Forerunner artifact, igniting one of the first conflicts in a new war with the UNSC.
