{{Main|Battle of Sector Six}}
During the [[Battle for Earth]] on [[2552#November|November 17th, 2552]], Sector Six was the site of an engagement between the UNSC and the [[Covenant]]. [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] [[T. Rymann]] and [[S. Hartley]] were ordered there to retrieve a [[laser designator]] and use it to track [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]]'s fall into atmosphere. Unfortunately, the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] had a significant presence in the area.<ref name="combat">''[[Halo: Landfall]]'', [[Halo: Combat]]</ref>


The ensuing battle met with heavy casualties on the behalf of both [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] and [[Jiralhanae]] forces. Bravo-21 was killed by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] wielding a [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]], after he flanked a column of [[Jiralhanae Minor]]s and tried to hold them off with a [[SRS99D-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|sniper rifle]]. Finally, the Marines managed to retrieve the designator, lock onto SPARTAN-117 and escape into a bunker.{{Ref/Reuse|last}}
[[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s [[Bravo-21]] and [[Bravo-22]] were ordered there during the [[Second Battle of Earth]] to get medical attention from a UNSC medic at that location.
