While Spartan Davis was successful in slowing the enemy advance, the Covenant forces were too overwhelming. Sarah Palmer began fighting her way upstream through the invasion in an attempt to reach one of the northern outposts. Her plan was to destroy Covenant air support and give the UNSC Hornets a chance to land near the outposts. The ultimate goal was to get off X50 and warn Draetheus-V of the Covenant invasion.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 4: Live to Fight|Live to Fight]]''</ref> Within an hour of their arrival at [[X50]], the [[Covenant]] owned the moon. Despite the ferocity of the assault on X50, the [[UNSC]] forces on [[Draetheus V|Draetheus-V]] had no idea anything was going on because the planet's unique magnetic resonance frequently made off-world communication nearly impossible. | While Spartan Davis was successful in slowing the enemy advance, the Covenant forces were too overwhelming.

Spartan Davis fought to hold the line on X50, while Sarah Palmer executed a plan to depart for Draetheus-V and warn them of the incoming Covenant invasion of the colony. Palmer ordered the [[Marine]]s in the area to fall back to the [[Hornet]] landing zones. Only 6 Marines made it there alive. They held out against an overwhelming Covenant force until Palmer managed to escape.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 5: The Last Stand|The Last Stand]]''</ref> Spartan Palmer was successful in warning Draetheus-V of the coming attack, the Covenant assault hit the colonies' defenses like a tidal wave. Draetheus-V's main outpost, [[Faraday Base]], was located on the border of an expanse of dense vegetation to the north and an enormous rock plateau to the south. | |||
When the Covenant invasion force eventually arrived, the first defense lines surrounding Faraday were quickly breached before the base's sentry turrets were fully operational. Palmer took to the field and almost singlehandedly held off the waves of Unggoy suicide units crashing down on the thick concrete wall behind the defense lines.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 6: Siege of Faraday|Siege of Faraday]]''</ref> | When the Covenant invasion force eventually arrived, the first defense lines surrounding Faraday were quickly breached before the base's sentry turrets were fully operational.
