The Covenant, after landing on the main continent of [[Hat Yai]], killed most of the [[civilian]] population and established a base. The UNSC was quick to respond, and a hundred Orbital Drop Shock Troopers led by [[Major]] [[Sedavian]] were dropped near the base by the [[UNSC Destroyer|Destroyer]] {{UNSCship|Clearidas}}. Unfortunately, ten soldiers were picked off during insertion by [[Covenant Cruiser]]s in low orbit, and two more were killed in landing accidents.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''' | The Covenant, after landing on the main continent of [[Hat Yai]], killed most of the [[civilian]] population and established a base.

Under Rahud's command, the ODSTs were able to regroup and take the Covenant base with no casualties. | ||
However, by the time the base was taken and the arrived, the situation in space had changed: Covenant reinforcements had arrived and the UNSC became severely outgunned. The ground forces were evacuated, [[Shiva-class Nuclear Missile]]s were dropped on the rest of the Covenant troops, and the UNSC fleet retreated, leaving Hat Yai [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant.<ref name="p129"/> | However, by the time the base was taken and the arrived, the situation in space had changed: Covenant reinforcements had arrived and the UNSC became severely outgunned.
