==Biography==
===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>
Captain Veredi led [[UNSC]] [[Battlegroup 4]], the battlegroup  that firstly encountered the [[Covenant]]. The battle group consisted of his own ship, the destroyer UNSC ''Heracles'' and two known 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]]".
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]]".


===First contact===
===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>
In orbit around the remains of the colony world was a single alien ship, which proceeded to attack the battle group, destroying both ''Arabia'' and ''Vostok'' and badly damaging the ''Heracles''. Before the ship attacked the Battlegroup, Veredi attempted to follow the UNSC's first contact protocol to no avail.


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}}
Intercepted communications identified the enemy as "The [[Covenant]]". The message stated, "Your destruction is the will of the Gods, and we are their instrument." It was translated into [[English]] for UNSC personnel.


==Trivia==
===[[Second Battle of Harvest]]===
Despite the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' establishing Battle Group 4 as a CMA fleet element, Veredi's uniform tunic has a UNSC patch.
Captain Veredi later served during the [[Second Battle of Harvest]] where he again commanded the repaired UNSC ''Heracles'' and accompanied [[Vice Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] into the system.
