The '''Battle of Ballast''' was a battle that took place on the [[UNSC]] colony of [[Ballast]]. It is unknown if the [[UNSC]] or [[Covenant]] forces on the planet won the battle, or if the colony still exists. This is due to the [[Covenant]] [[glassing]] of the planet, which the [[Covenant]] does after victories, though the battle could also be one of the few sporadic UNSC victories during the war. <ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fraggrenade] [[Bungie.net|Bungie.net's]] UNSC [[Weaponry]] update</ref> Propaganda produced by [[ONI]] stated that the battle was a UNSC victory<ref>Halo Encyclopedia</ref>.

The Battle of Ballast[1] was a battle that took place on the UNSC colony of Ballast during the Human-Covenant War. It is unclear if the UNSC or Covenant forces on the planet won the battle, but propaganda produced by ONI stated that the battle was a UNSC victory.[2] Signs on the Quito Space Tether hint that the colony still existed during the Battle for Earth.[3]

The marine battalion E2-BAG/1/7 was involved in the battle and afterwards provided feedback on munitions used as part of a study entitled Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present.[4]
