+The division's most notable action was during the [[Battle of Actium]] in [[2545|May 2545]]. On May 10, in the midst of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant's]] invasion of [[Actium]], [[Colonel]] [[Acono Menteith]] made a rousing speech, stirring the twelve-thousand men and women of the 53rd to perform great feats of heroism.
-While in the month of hard fighting, the division suffered 100% losses on Actium. However prior to it's annihilation, a speech given by Colonel Acono Mentieth, a brigade commander, was given in front of the 12,000 soldiers of the 53rd Armored to boost their morale in their perilous situation. This same speech would become legendary throughout the colonies as a symbol of [[Human|human]] resistance against the genocidal Covenant Empire.
+Within the month, the 53rd Armored Division, with the aid of a pair of [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s, destroyed three of the largest Covenant staging areas ever encountered. Soon, however, Actium fell to the Covenant and every remaining member of the division was killed. Though the 53rd Armored Division was annihilated, Colonel Menteith's speech became legendary throughout the colonies as a symbol of [[human]] resistance against the genocidal Covenant.<ref name="Waypoint"/>
