'''Scenario Eight: Rally Point Zulu''' is the eighth and final mission in the campaign of ''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]''.

==Scenario==
{{Article quote|[[Rho 'Barutamee]] was missing and presumed dead, the twisted remains of [[Long Night of Solace]] falling to the surface of [[Reach]]. As battle raged for the fate of the planet, a single engagement in the larger melee would have massive implications. Rho's lieutenant, [[Shipmaster]] [[Kantar 'Utaralee]] assumed command of the splintered [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]], leading them in a last ditch effort to recover the artefact that had eluded them. Held on a station near [[Turul]], only a small picket fleet remained between the fleet's honor and ignominious defeat.}}
