The Sangheili invaded from the north, while the Jiralhanae invaded from the south. In the center, there was a tremendous fray, with Jiralhanae engaging Sangheili, [[Sangheili Ranger]]s, and black-armored [[Special Operations Unggoy]] armed with [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod guns]]. Keeping the Sangheili entryway to the valley secure were two [[Stealth Sangheili]] armed with [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy swords]] along with several Unggoy.
