Template:Battle

The Battle of Draco III was an engagement of the Human-Covenant War between Covenant and UNSC forces fought on the human colony world Draco III in 2545.[1]

The battle

After arriving in the Draco system, the Covenant quickly defeated the UNSC forces defending the planet. The Covenant then gathered much of the planet's civilian population and allowed them to be massacred by hungry Unggoy and Kig-Yar.[1] The SPARTAN-IIs, including John-117 and Linda-058, witnessed this slaughter via satellite uplink and were then deployed to rescue any survivors, though none remained. The enraged Spartans then defeated the invaders in a retaliatory action, resulting in a tactical victory for the UNSC. The civilian massacre psychologically scarred John-117.[2]

After the battle, Draco III remained under UNSC control for the remainder of the war. However, the planet remained uninhabited until at least 2552.[3] UNSC Marine Edward Buck regretted being unable to participate in the battle.[4]
