The UNSC ships engaged the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] fleet under [[Fleet Master|Fleetmaster]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] and took losses, including the {{UNSCship|Glasgow Kiss}}, which sacrificed itself to save ''Stalingrad'' from Covenant plasma torpedoes. Following this engagement, Admiral Patterson ordered a withdrawal. The battlegroup temporarily went into hiding. | ||
The remaining UNSC ships hid behind Onyx's moon. Meanwhile, the ''Dusk'' prepared a nuclear minefield as a trap for the unsuspecting Covenant fleet. The UNSC lured the Covenant into the minefields, and used the nukes to destroy the entire Covenant fleet save for two badly damaged destroyers to the human four. The battlegroup moved in for the kill with six [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds left. Unfortunately, at this point [[Sangheili]] reinforcements arrived in the form of over thirty warships. Battlegroup ''Stalingrad'' was swiftly and efficiently annihilated, with the sole exception of the ''Dusk''. | The remaining UNSC ships hid behind Onyx's moon.
