The '''Battle of Charybdis IX''' was a battle fought between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] in [[2535]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'''</ref>

==Battle==

The Covenant fleet arrived at Charybdis IX overwhelming the three [[UNSC destroyer|UNSC Destroyers]] in orbit. The {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}, a [[UNSC light frigate|Light Frigate]], was nearby as well, but did not take part in the combat. Two of the UNSC Destroyers were almost immediately eliminated, but the {{UNSCShip|Do You Feel Lucky?}} was disabled.

[[Thel 'Vadam]]ee proceeded to board the ''Do You Feel Lucky?'', in search of the already wiped navigation data. The Covenant boarders consisted of a group of [[Unggoy|Grunts]] and 'Vadamee's handpicked team of [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]], including [[Jora 'Konaree]], [[Zhar (Sangheili)|Zhar]], [[Saal]], and [[Veer]]. The [[Human]]s onboard were unable to hold the Covenant back, and the Covenant boarders sustained only light casualties (although 'Konaree was wounded). The Covenant proceeded to glass the planet as the [[Insurrectionist]]s on the planet vainly attempted to resist.

Charybdis IX was glassed, and its entire population killed. The ''Midsummer Night'' was able to retreat from the battle without arousing any Covenant suspicion.

Following the battle, the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] dispatched Thel 'Vadamee to [[23 Librae]] to find and eliminate the source of Covenant weaponry modified for Human use.  This led to the [[Battle of the Rubble]] in which the ''Midsummer Night'' and the Rebels were able to defeat 'Vadamee and destroy the [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] and Grunt forces, scoring a major Human victory.
