Ambush at Oth Lodon: Difference between revisions

During the [[Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531|February 9, 2531]], the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the planet [[Arcadia]], where it assisted in the evacuation of civilians, and the eradication of the [[Covenant]] from the planet's surface.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> When Professor [[Ellen Anders]] was captured by the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' quickly gave chase, following the Arbiter's flagship to [[Etran Harborage|an unknown planet]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]''', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> Before leaving the system, the ''Spirit of Fire'' dropped a [[log buoy]] and [[Terrence Hood]], Captain of the {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}} was assigned to recover it. However, as the colony was already deemed lost by UNSC command, ''Roman Blue'' was also ordered to withhold from engaging the enemy in combat. However, Hood, enraged by the massive losses the Covenant had already inflicted on humanity, ordered his crew to attack the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]''. Overwhelmed, Hood was forced to retreat. Consequently, the ''Spirit of Fire's'' log buoy was not recovered and Hood would view himself as responsible for the ''Spirit of Fire's'' disappearance.<ref name="HE5"/>
