Battle of Meridian
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Battle The Battle of Meridian was a conflict between UNSC and Covenant forces on the planet Meridian.[1] The first "Mantis" prototype engaged in an action known as the "Cherbourg Run", in which it successfully engaged 18 heavily guarded Type-27 Anti-Aircraft Cannons, also known as "Mantis".
Aftermath
The success of the prototype in the "Cherbourg Run" is one of the theories of why it was eventually called "Mantis".
