Sometime later, UNSC forces set up a forward operations base known as "[[Magma Base|Magma]]" in the area. Magma Base came [[Assault on Magma Base|under attack]] by Covenant forces, forcing them to send a distress signal. Fireteam Crimson was sent in response. The Covenant focused their attack on the base's generators.
