Ambush at Oth Lodon: Difference between revisions

**1 ''SDV''-class heavy corvette

During the [[Battle of Arcadia]] in [[2531|February 9, 2531]], the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the planet [[Arcadia]], where it assisted in the evacuation of civilians, and the eradication of the [[Covenant]] from the planet's surface.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> When Professor [[Ellen Anders]] was captured by the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], the ''Spirit of Fire'' quickly gave chase, following the Arbiter's flagship to [[Etran Harborage|an unknown planet]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> Before leaving the system, the ''Spirit of Fire'' dropped a [[log buoy]] and [[Terrence Hood]], Captain of the {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}} was assigned to recover it. However, as the colony was already deemed lost by UNSC command, ''Roman Blue'' was also ordered to withhold from engaging the enemy in combat. However, Hood, enraged by the massive losses the Covenant had already inflicted on humanity, ordered his crew to attack the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]''. Overwhelmed, Hood was forced to retreat. Consequently, the ''Spirit of Fire's'' log buoy was not recovered and Hood would view himself as responsible for the ''Spirit of Fire's'' disappearance.<ref name="HE5"/>

After their failed assault on Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the UNSC ''Infinity'' into a trap. They launched a freighter, the ''[[Pilgrims' Pride]]'' which sent out a distress signal that was later picked up by ''{{UNSCShip|Infinity}}''. When ''Infinity'' arrived in the [[Artesia-702 system]], it found the damaged freighter leaking atomic matter with faint life signs aboard and tugged the ship into one of its deployment bays. An ambush was sprung within the bay when the freighter set itself to self-destruct and multiple UNSC aircraft exited its cargo bay. The attack was repelled by Fireteams [[Fireteam Majestic|Majestic]], [[Fireteam Colossus|Colossus]], and [[Fireteam Fenrir|Fenrir]].
