Given the ''Pillar of Autumn'' moments earlier had destroyed one, this brings a total of 315. Then, it is stated that ''"the surviving Covenant vessels advanced in-system—a third of their number were left behind... burning radioactive hulks or utterly destroyed by the Super MAC rounds"''. One-third of 315 is 105. Following that, ''"sixteen Covenant ships were blasted into flame and glittering fragments"'', the orbital guns' super-heavy rounds ''"impacted eighteen incoming Covenant ships"'', and ''"six Covenant ships cleared the interfering cloud of vapor"'' before being destroyed. <nowiki>105+16+18+6=145</nowiki> total destroyed Covenant ships in this particular battle.}}
