In the '''Siege of the Atlas Moons''' [[UNSC]] forces fought the [[Covenant]].


While the moons were attacked by the Covenant, they were ultimately not glassed.{{Ref/Reuse|EN}}
Little is known of this battle except that [[Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb]] fought in the engagement and gained a reputation as a great military commander. This was a rare victory for the UNSC, as victories in space-based fighting were uncommon for the Human Fleet.
