HistoryEdit
Human-Covenant warEdit
In the August 2552, a portion of Noble Team was sent to scout a Covenant "dark zone" at Szurdok Ridge during the Fall of Reach. There they discovered that the area was being used as a staging ground for their forces to invade the planet.[2]
The next day a large battle between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant took place on the ridge. UNSC forces would eventually make their way to Spire One. There, the Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier would destroy the UNSC Grafton, sending its wreckage into the ground.[1]
Post-warEdit
During Operation: WOLFE, Banished forces were sent to scout Szurdok Ridge.[3]
