Battle of Harvest

File:Space Battle.png

The Battle of Harvest was an engagement in the Human-Covenant War between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant. It was one of the first major human battles with the Covenant in space, and the return of Admiral Preston Cole to the UNSC Navy.

Following the loss of the colony Harvest to the Covenant in 2525, the UNSC assembled a battle group to retake the planet on March 1, 2526. Led by Vice Admiral Preston Cole, UNSC Battle Group X-Ray engaged an enormous Covenant super-destroyer. Due to superior numbers and Cole's leadership, X-Ray was successful in defeating the Covenant but suffered heavy casualties in the process. At the cost of thirteen human ships, the alien starship was destroyed when its shields were overwhelmed with the largest show of firepower yet in humanity's history.

+[[Category:Featured content|Article]]
-Featured article status is decided by the panel known as the [[H:Monitors|Monitors of Halopedia]]. While any user can nominate an article for featured article status, a vote of at least four out of the eight Monitors is necessary to confirm it. After a time, however, detrimental edits to an article or a reconsideration of the article's notability or quality may compel the removal of Featured Article status from an article. A vote of three out of eight Monitors is required to remove status.
