*[[Battle of Circinius IV]]. The Covenant attacked the UNSC [[Corbulo Academy of Military Science]] on [[Circinius IV]], catching the cadets there off guard and sparking a massive ground battle for control of the Academy. The Spartan [[Blue Team]] was deployed to fight the Covenant soldiers and to evacuate the trainees who were forced to engage the enemy in close-quarters combat. The battle resulted in the near-complete extermination of the planet's population, including those of the Corbulo Academy save for the survivors of [[Hastati Squad]]. | *[[Battle of Circinius IV]].

*[[Battle of Alpha Aurigae]]. Another ship-to-ship battle, where the UNSC outnumber the Covenant almost 10-1, but lost a third of the ships. This was one of the rare naval "victories" for the UNSC, won because of their numerical superiority over the Covenant in that battle. | *[[Battle of Alpha Aurigae]].

*[[Battle of Mesra]]. The Covenant invade [[Mesra]] in the [[Qusdar system]], occupying the planet and seizing the planet's many mining facilities in order to seize the planet's plentiful resources. To ensure the success of the operation, they do not commit to the immediate glassing of the colony. In response, Admiral Cole deploys [[Blue Team]] to spearhead the UNSC's attempt to retake the planet, negotiating a truce with the [[Militia of Mesra]] in order to wipe out the invaders. Blue Team succeeds in destroying the mines before the Covenant can exploit their resources. | |||
