Template:New Content Template:Battle Infobox The Battle of Sunaion was an engagement fought between the joint forces of the Swords of Sanghelios and the United Nations Space Command and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction in 2558.
Prelude
Following the disappearance of MCPO John-117 and subsequent abrupt attacks on several colony worlds, Spartan Jameson Locke was tasked with tracking the rogue Spartan down and returning him to the United Nations Space Command. To that end, Locke met with Arbiter Thel 'Vadam of the Swords of Sanghelios and studied various accounts and recordings of the Master Chief's past endeavors in order to better understand the Spartan's history.[1] A team of SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers under Locke's command subsequently took part in a joint operation with the Swords of Sanghelios against Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction.[2]
Battle
Once the constructor programed by Doctor Catherine Halsey began moving in to activate the Guardian at Sunaion, The Swords of Sanghelios began its assault on the city. Several warships contested the skies above while a force of Lichs and Banshees were deployed to the city. The Arbiter accompanied by fireteam Osiris dropped into the city via a Lich with the goal of disabling the Anti-Air guns stationed around the city. Once the AA guns were destroyed, the two forces split up with the Arbiter going to do battle against the remaining Covenant forces, while Osiris used the undercity to move toward the Guardian, as even with the AA guns destroyed, the air trafic was still to heavy for a reliable path to the Guardian. After fighting through Covenant resistance in the undercity, Osiris, emerges far closer to the Guardian, however, with it's activation Promethian machines apear and engage both forces, apparantly decimating both the Covenant and the Arbiter's Swords of Sanghelios. Osiris now running out of time, rendezvous with the Arbiter and fights through the last of the Prometheans before reaching the Guardian, including the Warden Eternal who inadvertently reveals the Guardian's destination upon his defeat. With the Guardian too for for Osiris to reach on foot, Commander Sarah Palmer accompanied by Doctor Halsey arrives in a Pelican gunship to ferry them to their destination. The Pelican is critically damaged en-route but manages to get Osiris to the Guardian before crashing into the sea. Palmer and Halsey both survive and are recovered by the Arbiter and Swords of Sangelios, who presumably win the battle shortly after the Guardian's departure.
