As a result, Merg Vol had to be eliminated if they were to get the colonists safely off the planet. Aware that his Covenant knew about her stolen [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit dropships]] and would likely shoot them down, Palmer instead stole [[Parg Vol]]'s [[Phantom gunboat|personal transport]] to reach X50. The Trojan Horse proved to be successful with Palmer slipping through Vol's Covenant fleet in orbit undetected, Vol having ordered the shooting down of all but the officers' Phantoms. Fighting her way across the moon, Palmer was able to eliminate the Sangheili's most loyal forces including his six lieutenants.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''' - ''[[Operation E: Frostbite]]''</ref> Palmer eventually reached the entrance to the Forerunner structure where Vol, having spent considerable resources to unlock its secrets, was able to activate the structure's [[Z-510 focus turret|beam turrets]] to aid in his defense. Supported by a large amount of [[Kig-Yar]] and several Sangheili, Vol engaged Palmer in combat. After a fierce battle, Palmer was able to defeat Merg Vol who collapsed from his injuries and was then executed by Palmer with a close-range headshot from her [[M6H magnum|sidearm]].<ref name="battle">'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon]]''</ref> | ||
