Template:Infobox Military Unit Battlegroup Dakota was a formation of the UNSC Navy's Home Fleet. In the summer of 2557, it took part in the Battle of Earth. [1]
Background
In the summer of 2557, the Didact's ship, Mantle's Approach, exited slipspace near Earth intending to wipe Earth's population out with the Composer. However, the UNSC Infinity had arrived at Earth to warn UNSC forces of the attack. Soon after Mantle's Approach exited slipspace Battlegroup Dakota was ordered to engage the ship. The battlegroup was unable to seriously damage the ship, but after learning that the Master Chief was trying to board the ship in an F-41 Broadsword armed with a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon, they aided him in entering the ship, with Infinity blasting a hole into the Composer once the Chief took down Mantle's Approach's point-defense guns.
