After the planet was attacked by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and their Promethean allies, a joint [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]]-[[UNSC Marine Corps]] operation was deployed in response to the attack. During the battle, Spartan [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]] was ambushed by a [[Promethean Knight]] but he was saved by Commander Palmer. With the Prometheans' presence, Palmer ordered all UNSC forces to search and find Jul 'Mdama. Meanwhile, Spartan [[Joel Thomas]] ordered an airstrike on two [[Type-44 Phantom]]s near Palmer's position. Palmer ordered Thorne to get to an [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]] and pursue the Phantoms, but they were ambushed and pursued by [[Promethean Crawlers]]. They dispatched several of the Crawlers and Palmer jumped off of a cliff, directly above the Phantoms. The Warthog landed on the ground, injuring Thorne, and the Phantoms prepared to shoot their [[heavy plasma cannon]]s at them. However, a [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] appeared, destroying both Phantoms, and saving Palmer's and Thorne's lives. | After the planet was attacked by Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and their Promethean allies, a joint [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]]-[[UNSC Marine Corps]] operation was deployed in response to the attack.

Jul's forces suffered heavy losses, while inflicting only minor damage to a new power station and briefly pausing the planet's colonization efforts. Captain Lasky chided Commander Palmer for acting hastily despite there being no proof Jul 'Mdama was ever present on the planet. The following day, when the ''Infinity'' jumped into slipspace, its slipspace drive experienced an anomaly which trapped them in an [[Aktis system|uncharted system]]. Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Halsey and 'Mdama possessed an [[Requiem communication artifact|artifact]] capable of contacting the ''Infinity'''s Forerunner components, including her slipspace drive, allowing them to confine the flagship within the system. | Jul's forces suffered heavy losses, while inflicting only minor damage to a new power station and briefly pausing the planet's colonization efforts.
