Since there is controversy regarding New Alexandria being called a "battle", while others find calling it a "raid" to be equally unsuitable, I would like to suggest a new name: Fall of New Alexandria. At the same time, I would also suggest merging it with [[Evacuation of New Alexandria]], and consider both engagements to be one single conflict. Agreements? Objections? Other suggestions? Demands that I should be thrown to a pack of ravenous Brutes for wasting everyone's time? -- [[User talk:SFH|SFH]] 23:38, 25 November 2010 (EST) | Since there is controversy regarding New Alexandria being called a "battle", while others find calling it a "raid" to be equally unsuitable, I would like to suggest a new name: Fall of New Alexandria.

I'm going to have to bring up a previous suggestion again for the title. | |||
{{Article Quote|City's been '''under siege''' for the last five days. Thought we had it in hand, then those corvettes showed up. Our fleet's scattered, pulling back. Hell, we all got orders to evacuate. Guess some of us just don't like leaving a job half-finished...}} | |||
So why not "Siege of New Alexandria"? It would make more sense than "raid", seeing as raids are generally intended to destroy/accomplish a certain objective. It's pretty obvious from ''Exodus'' that the Covenant intended to do more than just accomplish a certain objective in New Alexandria. The three corvettes and thousands of troops they deployed would more likely indicate more permanent occupying force, thus "siege". | |||
