One of the planet's major population centres, [[Côte d'Azur]], was attacked by [[Covenant]] ground forces and the [[Spartan]]s were deployed to find out why the Covenant were so interested in the city. The museum of the city held a Forerunner artifact that the Covenant wanted and the Spartans were able to retrieve this artefact, more specifically a rock sample with rubies in it, and level Côte d´ Azur and the Covenant presence within with a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]].
