Then on March 6, [[2543]], during the [[Battle of 18 Scorpii]], UNSC [[Battle Group Sierra-3]] found itself in trouble against a single Covenant ship. Just as things seemed most desperate, reinforcements arrived when unknown friendly ships jumped in system.

In the heat of the battle coordinated reinforcements - consisting of fifty-five highly modified older UNSC warships, merchant vessels bristling with missile pods and entirely new designs that neither human nor Covenant had seen before - led by the ''Bellicose'' appeared and engaged the Covenant fleet.
