In the summer of [[2557]], the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', exited slipspace near [[Earth]] intending to wipe Earth's population out with the [[Composer]]. However, the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} had arrived at Earth to warn UNSC forces of the attack. Soon after ''Mantle's Approach'' exited slipspace Battle Group Dakota was ordered to engage the ship. The battle group was unable to seriously damage the ship, but after learning that the [[John-117|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. The fleet lost several vessels in the engagement, but maintained their station while the Master Chief carried out his objective. | In the summer of [[2557]], the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', exited slipspace near [[Earth]] intending to wipe Earth's population out with the [[Composer]].
