History
Human-Covenant war
The colony was among the first eight to be destroyed by the Covenant, being destroyed sometime in the first four years of the Human-Covenant War.[3] It involved Gage Yevgenny's team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. One ODST to die in the battle was Mason, after a Sangheili speared him along with ten other ODSTs with an Energy Sword before Gage got off a near point-blank shot with a missile launcher.[1]
