The '''Battle of CE 10-2165 d'''<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Terminal|Terminal 1]]''</ref> was both a planetary and naval battle in the [[Forerunner-Flood War]].

The [[The Flood|Flood]] assailed the [[Forerunner]] planetside with 12,423 small recreational vessels and seven large freight carriers, jumping into the orbital perimeter. The recreational vessels were used as ablative armor, meaning they formed a disposable "heat shield" around the carriers upon atmospheric entry, therefore ensuring that the carriers made landfall, while the recreational vessels disintegrated on entry, and while the Forerunner Defense Fleet already had foreknowledge of the Flood strategy, the sheer number of vessels overwhelmed the orbital garrison and bulwark, and the carriers were able to enter the atmosphere and land their forces onto the major population centers to infect the Forerunner population. Two hours later, infected population centers destroyed themselves with high-power weapons, suicidally incinerating themselves and preventing their further infection by the Flood.

-The [[Flood]] assailed the [[Forerunner]] planetside by jumping seven large freight carriers and 12,423 smaller recreational vessels into CE 10-2165 d's orbital perimeter. The recreational vessels were used as ablative armor, forming a disposable "heat shield" around the carriers upon atmospheric entry, thus ensuring the carriers made landfall. While the recreational vessels would largely disintegrated on entry, the sheer number of them overwhelmed the planet's orbital garrison despite the defense fleet having foreknowledge of the Flood's tactics. The carriers were able to successfully land and marshal their forces to attack and infect the planet's major population centers. Two hours later following the initial landing, the infected population centers destroyed themselves with high-power weapons, incinerating themselves and preventing the reach of the Flood.
