Battle of Chi Ceti

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Template:Battle

En route to the Damascus Testing Facility, the UNSC Commonwealth was attacked by a Covenant frigate. The frigate successfully fended off the Covenant ship, blasting a hole in it with a MAC and then hitting it with a Shiva warhead. The ship retreated to the edge of the system.

The Spartans on board then landed on Chi Ceti 4, where they donned their MJOLNIR armor for the first time.

At this point, the Covenant ship turned around and continued its attack on the system. The John-117 decided that he and his Spartans were going to sneak onboard the ship, and blow it up from the inside. The Spartans boarded a Pelican, and took off into space. They strapped the Pelican's ANVIL-II ASM warheads to themselves and donned thruster packs to fly through space to get onboard the Covenant ship. Only three Spartans, the Master Chief, Kelly-087 and Sam-034 succesfully landed on the ship and entered through it's hole. They reached the ship's reactor, tossed their warheads inside, and escaped. Unfortunatly, Sam had been wounded and was forced to be left behind. He held off the Covenant while John and Kelly escaped. The warheads went off, and the Covenant ship was destroyed, taking Sam with it.
