[[Scyllion]] was a mining town, run by corporations that controlled the [[civilian]]s' food and other supplies. | [[Scyllion]] was a mining town, run by corporations that controlled the [[civilian]]s' food and other supplies.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 106''</ref> The city had long been a city of political turmoil. [[Insurrectionist]]s were a constant problem. In [[2534]], ONI recommended that the [[UNSC]] implement martial law, but the UNSC was unable to do so, due to the escalating [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 106-107''</ref> The riots were led by [[Jason Kincaide]]. Although ONI originally just monitored the world, they decided action was required when they learned the rebels were using modified [[Covenant]] weapons.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 109''</ref> | ||
A joint [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] and [[UNSC Navy]] operation to the colony in [[2535]] was one of then-[[Lieutenant, Junior Grade|Lieutenant (J.G.)]] [[Jacob Keyes]]' first assignments. However, the insurgents discovered the location of ONI's command centers and attacked it with RPGs.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 114''</ref> Keyes and the surviving ONI agents fled to a nearby building to be evacuated, while [[ODST]] support was arriving. Unfortunately, the evacuation [[Pelican]] was destroyed and ONI agent [[Akio Watanabe]] was killed by Kincaide. In retaliation, Keyes killed Kincaide, his first human kill.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 130''</ref> Shortly after, the ODSTs landed and quickly eliminated most of the remaining insurgents, while the survivors retreated. [[Pelican]]s later arrived to pick up Keyes, the ODSTs and remaining ONI agents.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 135''</ref> | |||

===Battle of Charybdis IX=== | |||
{{Main|Battle of Charybdis IX}} | |||
Moments after the riots, while the surviving UNSC personnel were being transported to the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}, a [[Covenant]] fleet arrived in the system. The Covenant had discovered the planet after following tracking information on the modified weapons. The ''Midsummer Night'' fled the system, while three destroyers engaged Covenant ships. Two of the destroyers were immediately eliminated, but the {{UNSCShip|Do You Feel Lucky?}} was disabled and boarded by [[Zealot]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee in search of the already wiped navigation data.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 136''</ref> | |||
The remaining rebels vainly attempted to fight the Covenant. Charybdis IX was glassed, and its entire population was killed.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 148''</ref> | |||
