With the space around Anchor 9 clear of Covenant forces, Jorge-052 separated from Six's Sabre and boarded the Pelican to secure the makeshift Slipspace "bomb". Colonel Urban Holland then finalized the plan. A nearby [[SDV-class heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]] on a refueling run to the Covenant supercarrier, would provide the delivery system for the bomb. A [[Boarding|boarding party]] would secure the corvette, neutralize the crew, and place the bomb on board, where it would be detonated by a timed fuse. The Sabre team would be responsible for clearing a way for the boarding party. The ''Savannah'', despite the loss of her slipspace drive, would provide local fire support and assist the boarding action.

The corvette and its escort of six fighters were caught off guard by the sudden attack. ''Savannah'' immediately jammed the Covenant warship's communications before it could transmit a distress call, and used her point-defense guns to bombard the corvette and the escorts with heavy suppressive fire. Any Covenant fighters that didn't fall victim to the frigate's guns were destroyed by the Sabres. The Sabres then attacked and ~~crippled~~ the corvette's engines, crippling her speed and maneuvering. The corvette responded by deploying a swarm of Banshee interceptors, but the unshielded craft were easy prey for the Sabres. The Banshees were supplemented by several Seraphs returning from patrol duty, but eventually all the Covenant escorts were wiped out. During the dogfight, the corvette's crew managed to power up the ship's weapons and opened fire on ''Savannah'' and the Sabres with plasma torpedoes and flak.
