''' | '''Battlegroup ''Stalingrad''''' was a [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Naval]] [[Battle Group]] <ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 294</ref>. | ||
== | ==Background== | ||
It was comprised and detailed of nine ships and commanded by the late [[Admiral]] [[Carl Patterson]]. Its flagship was the [[UNSC Stalingrad]] a [[UNSC]] carrier. In [[2552]], the battle group was deployed to [[Onyx]] to retrieve [[Dr. Halsey]], a joint unit of [[SPARTAN-II]]s and [[SPARTAN-III]]s, and (supposedly) examples of [[Forerunner]] technologies that had been excavated. However, before it could carry out this task, it was engaged and eventually defeated by a superior fleet of [[Covenant]] reinforcements at the [[Battle of Onyx]]. Most of the ships were destroyed and only the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}} survived to escape. | |||

== | ==Historical Reference== | ||
Stalingrad (now Volgograd) was the site of a brutal battle during the Second World War, popularly seen as marking the easternmost front of the German invasion. The weakening of the German army at Stalingrad would ultimately culminate in the decisive battle at Kursk. | |||
