During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Mesra would become the target of invasion by the [[Covenant]], owing to the planet's rich ore resources and mining infrastructure. On [[2526#June|June | During the [[Human-Covenant War]], Mesra would become the target of invasion by the [[Covenant]], owing to the planet's rich ore resources and mining infrastructure. On [[2526#June|June 5, 2526]], the Karpos mountains were the site of a pitched battle between the forces of the [[Militia of Mesra]] and [[Blue Team]] and a massive Covenant armoured convoy. The convoy was travelling along a mountain pass in the region to attack the [[24th Marine Engineering Brigade]] at the [[Doukala Xenotime Works]], and was subject to harassment along their way by the human forces. Despite being outnumbered, the humans were able to use clever [[Lotus anti-tank mine|Lotus]] mine placement, [[Anaconda surface-to-air missile|Anaconda]] missile batteries and [[M68 Gauss cannon|Gauss cannons]] to deal considerable damage to the Covenant force including the elimination of the convoy's [[combat bridging vehicle]]s. Ultimately however, the Covenant force was victorious and able to pass through the mountains to attack the Doukala mines.{{Ref/Reuse|HO1}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO2|Oblv|Chapter=2}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO3|Oblv|Chapter=3}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}} | ||
