| Towards the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the colony was discovered and attacked by the [[Covenant]] before or during [[2552|July]] or [[2552|August 2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 153''</ref> New Jerusalem was defended by the [[UNSC Army]] and the [[26th Marine Expeditionary Force]], who suffered "near annihilation" in the resulting [[Battle of New Jerusalem]]. [[Jonathan Doherty]] was part of the 26th MEF and fought in the battle.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo 3: ODST Field Guide - The Rookie'']</ref>
