On [[2558#July|July 16, 2558]], Oban was attacked by [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and his [[Promethean]] allies. The attack was advocated by [[Catherine Halsey|Doctor Catherine Halsey]], who believed that a bold move would attract {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. As Halsey predicted, ''Infinity'' was deployed to the moon and [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] led a joint [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]]-[[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] operation in response to the attack. The UNSC eventually repelled the attack, and only minor damage was inflicted upon a new power station halting the colonization of the moon. However, Jul's Covenant attacked Oban just to lead ''Infinity'' into a trap.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HE13| | On [[2558#July|July 16, 2558]], Oban was attacked by [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and his [[Promethean]] allies.
