The [[Arcadian Patrol]], the primary police force of Arcadia, was deployed to counter the Covenant invaders but, being a civilian force, was easily overwhelmed. [[Red Team|SPARTAN Red Team]] and forces under the command of [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] assisted in rescuing civilians, evacuating hundreds to several civilian transports abandoning the city. The Covenant, unfortunately were successfull in destroying several of these transports, resulting massive civilian casualties. However, despite several repeated assaults, the UNSC was successful in saving at least a portion of the population before being forced to retreat to the city's outskirts, where they were reinforced by [[SPARTAN Team Omega]]. Forge's team fortified the outskirts and linked up with several groups of stragglers. These forces, led by the SPARTANs, teamed up to destroy a Covenant field base, from which the UNSC survivors suffered several assaults. | ||
Following this, the UNSC forces established a base of operations at a deserted ONI base in the jungle. They used experimental [[Rhino]]es to break through a massive dome-shaped Covenant [[Energy Shield #Covenant Energy Shielding |energy barrier]] concealing a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform #Super Scarab|Scarab]] building site, as well as several [[Arcadia Forerunner Ruins|Forerunner ruins]]. The UNSC forces were constantly harassed by Covenant air patrols, but were successful in repelling them. After the shield dome was disabled, the Spirit of Fire barraged the area with several MAC round blasts then advanced on the Scarab's construction site, taking cover behind the Forerunner ruins as the Scarab fired on them. After a considerable effort on the part of the UNSC, they destroyed the Scarab and proceeded to investigate the site. | Following this, the UNSC forces established a base of operations at a deserted ONI base in the jungle.
