In [[2528|December 2528]], [[Covenant]] forces attacked the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Madrigal]]. The [[United Nations Space Command]] launched a defensive, battling the invading [[Covenant military]], while human [[Insurrectionist|insurgents]] organized the planet's evacuation. The rebels used their own [[freighter]]s to evacuate the planet's residents and brought them to a rebel refugee among the [[asteroid]]s of the nearby [[Hesiod]], a habitable complex known as [[the Rubble]]. Although Madrigal had been prepared for a Covenant attack since [[First Battle of Harvest|the loss]] of [[Harvest]] in [[2525]], the planet's defenses ultimately failed and Madrigal was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant. | In [[2528|December 2528]], [[Covenant]] forces attacked the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Madrigal]].

After the battle, the United Nations Space Command withdrew from the system and abandoned Madrigal. The Madrigal residents brought to the Rubble were offered a choice by the occupying insurgents: they could either return to human space and continue to flee from the Covenant, or they could live in the Rubble and establish a civilization hidden from the Covenant and UNSC.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 205''</ref> | After the battle, the United Nations Space Command withdrew from the system and abandoned Madrigal.
