The battle began with {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} performing a high-speed [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] deaployment, down to [[the Redoubt]] on the surface of [[Metisette]]. The ''Midsummer Night'' came under fire from [[Covenant anti-aircraft battery|anti-aircraft guns]], and slowed down, to allow the pods to drop, before speeding off out the atmosphere again. The pods landed in the Redoubt's plaza, where [[Unggoy]] were waiting in buildings. There were two main forces of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] that landed; one with [[Jai-006]], and one with [[Adriana-111]]. Adriana's were mostly wiped out, going from 16 to 6 men, they were however successful in destroying the anti-aircraft guns. Jai's men landed with the [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|SHIVA Nuclear Warhead]],<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 315''</ref> and planted it in the communications hub and set a 2-hour timer. The ''Midsummer Night'' then launched five [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropships]] to pick up the survivors. They returned to ''Midsummer Night'', and watched as the SHIVA detonated, badly damaging the Redoubt. [[Reth]], the [[Kig-yar]] leader, was poisoned by the radiation, and tried to escape in a shuttle. However, [[the Rubble]] had been fractured by [[Juliana]] and the habitat's asteroids were moved into a position to collide with Metisette. The Redoubt was then obliterated by the improvised [[orbital bombardment]]. Reth's shuttle took a direct hit from one of the asteroids, finally killing him. [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee then launched the remaining Kig-yar ships against the [[Exodus Project|Exodus asteroid]].
