| '''Battle Group Omicron'''<ref name="Mythos113">'''[[Halo Mythos]]''', ''page 113''</ref> was a formation of the [[UNSC Navy]] commanded by [[Admiral]] [[Carl Patterson]]. The [[battle group]] comprised nine ships, with the [[UNSC carrier|carrier]] {{UNSCShip|Stalingrad}} serving as Patterson's flagship. On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], the battle group was redirected from the [[Battle for Earth|embattled]] planet [[Earth]] to [[Onyx]]. Their mission was to retrieve Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] and a joint unit of [[Spartan-II]]s and [[Spartan-III]]s, along with examples of [[Forerunner]] technologies that had allegedly been discovered on Onyx.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 294''</ref> | |

| ==History==
| | '''Battle group ''Stalingrad''''' was a nine-ship [[United Nations Space Command]] naval [[Battle Group]] in [[2552]] under the command of [[Admiral Carl "Buster" Patterson]]. Their objective was to exfiltrate [[Dr. Halsey]] and a joint unit of [[SPARTAN-II]]s and [[SPARTAN-III]]s that were stuck on the planet of [[Onyx]], as well as to gather supposed [[Forerunner]] technologies on the planet that might turn the tide of war for the UNSC. However, they engaged a superior [[Covenant]] fleet in orbit, in what devolved into the [[Battle of Onyx]].Their tactics were superior to the covenant, but got overwhelmed when reinforcements came from [[Joyous Exultation]] after the [[NOVA bomb]] incident. |
| ===Onyx Conflict===
| |
| {{Main|Onyx Conflict}}
| |
| 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.
