However, this is assuming that Jun still lived on his birth-world at the time he was orphaned.</ref>

The '''Battle of New Harmony''' was an engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. It took place an unspecified amount of time prior to [[2537|July 27, 2537]].<ref group="note" name="jun"/>


The '''Battle of New Harmony'''{{Ref/Reuse|page83}} was an engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]] on the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] world of [[New Harmony]]. It took place in the first half of [[2537]], prior to July 27.{{Ref/Reuse|enc272}}
This engagement was fought in-orbit or around the [[human]] colony of [[New Harmony]], and was one of the few UNSC naval victories of the war.<ref name="page83">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 83''</ref><ref name="enc299"/> During the battle, a [[UNSC prowler|prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Razor's Edge}}, managed to attach a [[telemetry probe]] to a retreating [[Covenant frigate]], allowing it to track the ship and locate [[K7-49]], a Covenant-controlled [[asteroid]] and a major shipyard.<ref name="page83"/> This subsequently led to the strategic, though costly, victory during [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]].
 
==The battle==
During the battle, [[Danforth Whitcomb]] led [[UNSC Navy]] forces into battle, securing one of the few UNSC naval victories of the Covenant War.{{Ref/Reuse|enc299}} In the battle, [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Razor's Edge}} managed to attach a [[telemetry probe]] to a retreating [[Covenant frigate]], allowing the prowler to track the ship and locate [[K7-49]], an [[asteroid]] serving as a major Covenant shipyard. This subsequently led to the strategic, though costly, victory during [[Operation: PROMETHEUS]].{{Ref/Reuse|page83}}
 
While the Battle of New Harmony was one of the few naval victories for the UNSC, the engagement has also been referred to as the '''fall of New Harmony'''. As the battle resulted in [[civilian]] casualties on New Harmony,{{Ref/Reuse|kat}} the Covenant may have proved victorious on the world's surface.
