| ===Harvest=== | | ===[[Harvest]]=== |
| In [[2525#October|October 2525]], Captain Veredi led CMA Battle Group 4. The battle group consisted of his own ship, the destroyer UNSC ''Heracles'' and two frigates, the [[CMA Arabia|''Arabia'']] and the [[CMA Vostok|''Vostok'']]. They were deployed to discover why contact had been lost with the planet [[Harvest]] and the scout ship [[CMA Argo|''Argo'']], which had been deployed six months earlier.<ref name="TFoR">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 96-98''</ref>
| | He led the battle group that first encountered the [[Covenant]]. The battle group consisted of his own ship, the destroyer {{UNSCShip|Heracles}} and two frigates, {{UNSCShip|Arabia}} and {{UNSCShip|Vostok}}. Their deployment was aimed to discover the fate of the colony on the planet, [[Harvest]] <ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 96-98</ref>. |
| | |
| On October 7, the battle group entered the [[Epsilon Indi system]] only to discover that the planet had been rendered a wasteland, with what left that was not incinerated into molten glass undergoing a nuclear winter. This high-temperature bombardment would later become known as "[[glassing]]".
| |
| | |
| ===First contact===
| |
| In orbit around the remains of the colony world was a single alien ship, which proceeded to attack the battle group; within one minute, it destroyed both the ''Arabia'' and the ''Vostok'' and badly damaged the ''Heracles''.<ref group="Note">According to ''Halo Wars: Genesis'', Battle Group 4 was attacked by a {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}}. However, according to ''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp'', the Battle Group encountered the cruiser ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''.</ref> Before the ship attacked the Battle Group, Veredi attempted to follow the UNSC's first contact protocol to no avail.<ref name="Genesis">'''Halo Wars: Genesis'''</ref><ref name="Boot Camp">''Halo: Fall of Reach - Boot Camp''</ref>
| |
| | |
| The aliens tranmitted a message to the ''Heracles'', which had already been translated into [[English]] The message stated, ''"Your destruction is the will of the [[Forerunner|Gods]], and we are their instrument."''{{Ref/Reuse|TFoR}}{{Ref/Reuse|Genesis}}{{Ref/Reuse|Boot Camp}}

|
| |
|
| ==Trivia==
| | They entered the [[Harvest System]] only to discover that everything on the planet had been completely incinerated and the surface melted down to glass. This was later dubbed "[[glassing]]". |
| Despite the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' establishing Battle Group 4 as a CMA fleet element, Veredi's uniform tunic has a UNSC patch.
