Upon arriving in the system, the battlegroup encountered the same Covenant ship, what appeared to be a [[Covenant Supercarrier]]. Veredi followed UNSC first contact protocol perfectly. The Covenant ship sent a broadcast to the battlegroup, stating ''Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument'' before opening fire on the ships. The battlegroup retaliated as best as it could, and one of the UNSC ships fired [[Archer Missile]]s at the Covenant ship, which eliminated many of the missiles with [[Point Defense Laser]]s, and those missiles that managed to hit the ship were deflected by the ship's [[shield]]s. The ''Arabia'' and ''Vostok'' were destroyed by the Covenant ship's advanced laser weaponry, while the ''Heracles'' was heavily damaged. The ''Heracles'' retreated to [[Reach]], but due to the heavy damage it took, the ''Heracles'' took several weeks to get back to Reach.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'' page 96-98</ref> | ||
