{{Main|Onyx | Battle Group Omicron rendezvoused with the [[prowler]] {{UNSCship|Dusk}} soon after entering the [[Zeta Doradus system]]. The UNSC ships engaged the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] fleet under [[Fleet Master]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] and took losses, including {{UNSCship|Glasgow Kiss}}, which was sacrificed to save ''Stalingrad'' from Covenant [[plasma torpedo]]es. Following this engagement, Admiral Patterson ordered a withdrawal. The battle group temporarily went into hiding behind Onyx's moon. | ||

Meanwhile, ''Dusk'' prepared a nuclear minefield as a trap for the unsuspecting Covenant fleet. The UNSC lured the Covenant into the minefield, destroying the entire Covenant fleet save for two badly damaged destroyers. The four remaining ships of Battle Group Omicron moved in for the kill with the six [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] rounds that remained among them. Before this could happen, however, 30 [[Sangheili]] warships arrived and swiftly destroyed the remaining human vessels, save ''Dusk'', which ultimately became the only ship to survive the battle. | Meanwhile, ''Dusk'' prepared a nuclear minefield as a trap for the unsuspecting Covenant fleet.
