With the fighter escort destroyed, the Sabre team landed unopposed on the corvette's dorsal landing pad, close to the communications array, and deployed Noble Six and a small supporting force consisting of the Sabre crews. [[Artificial gravity]] and life support had been taken offline, and any Covenant forces in the area that were not in [[Vacuum suit|vacuum-sealed suits]] had suffocated. Noble Six and the Sabre | With the fighter escort destroyed, the Sabre team landed unopposed on the corvette's dorsal landing pad, close to the communications array, and deployed Noble Six and a small supporting force consisting of the Sabre crews. [[Artificial gravity]] and life support had been taken offline, and any Covenant forces in the area that were not in [[Vacuum suit|vacuum-sealed suits]] had suffocated. Noble Six and the Sabre pilots attacked and eliminated the crew at the communications array, taking it permanently offline and allowing ''Savannah'' to cease countermeasures and divert all available power to weapon systems. The team moved on, securing the docking bay and allowing the Pelican to land with Jorge-052 and Army trooper reinforcements. With Jorge-052 defending the makeshift bomb, Six and the Army troopers fought their way to the corvette's [[bridge]]. At the same time, the ''Savannah'' finally succumbed to the corvette's [[Plasma torpedo|plasma barrage]] and was destroyed with all hands. After successfully capturing the bridge, Six manually locked the ship's course to the supercarrier, preventing any potential course corrections. After heading back to the docking bay, the surviving Covenant crew assaulted the UNSC forces, attempting to retake the docking bay and destroy the package. All non-Spartan personnel were killed in the assault. | ||
After the short engagement, Jorge-052 discovered several problems. Damage done to the corvette had blocked the path back to the Sabres, and the Pelican's thruster gimbal had been heavily damaged - the only way off the ship was a space jump. In addition, the timer on the slipspace drive was damaged by plasma fire, requiring a manual detonation when the ship reached the supercarrier. With no other UNSC personnel around, Jorge-052 volunteered to activate the bomb manually and forced Noble Six off the Covenant corvette. As the corvette came in range of the ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', the bomb detonated and created a [[slipspace]] rupture. The rupture sent the corvette into slipspace along with the mid-section of the supercarrier. | After the short engagement, Jorge-052 discovered several problems.
