On December 6 at 0720Z [[Military Standard Time|MST]] as part of [[Operation]]: [[Operation: GYPSUM|GYPSUM]], [[Sergeant]] [[Sigrid Eklund]] and a group of [[UNSC Army Rangers]] managed to clear out the [[Caravelle province]] at the cost of two [[M9 Wolverine]]s. They then prepared to redeploy to a nearby [[mass driver]] station which was being defended by dwindling militia forces.

By December 12, the joint forces of UNSC Army and Concordian militia had largely repelled Covenant ground forces from the major cities. Furthermore, the Covenant had lost air superiority; a dozen [[S-14 Baselard]] pilots sacrificed their lives leading pursuing [[Banshee]]s and [[Vampire]]s into the paths of concealed M9 Wolverine anti-aircraft tanks, while the unusually small Covenant fleet were kept at bay by [[Longbow Station|several]] [[Recurve Station|planet-side]] [[mass driver]] stations before being destroyed by a UNSC strike group consisting of the {{Class|Marathon|heavy cruiser}} [[C-322]] and two {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}}s, [[FFG-427]] and [[FFG-502]].{{Ref/Reuse|S2StoryHub}}{{Ref/Reuse|Contention}}

Covenant ground forces were unable to evacuate from the planet, and redirected their forces to destroy the far less-protected townships in the [[Hinterlands region]] out of spite.{{Ref/Reuse|Contention}}

The engagement resulted in a victory for the UNSC [[Space warfare|in space]], as well as the end of most attacks on major cities. However, stranded Covenant and UNSC forces would continue to clash in [[Operation: OFFSET EYE]], where NOBLE Team destroyed a contingent of ground forces led by a {{Pattern|Zashk|Draugr}} before it could reach the town of [[Skathi]].{{Ref/Reuse|Contention}}
