 ==Background==
-It was comprised and detailed of nine ships and commanded by the late [[Admiral]] [[Carl Patterson]]. Its flagship was the [[UNSC Stalingrad]] a [[UNSC]] carrier. In [[2552]], the battle group was deployed to [[Onyx]] to retrieve [[Dr. Halsey]], a joint unit of [[SPARTAN-II]]s and [[SPARTAN-III]]s, and (supposedly) examples of [[Forerunner]] technologies that had been excavated. However, before it could carry out this task, it was engaged and eventually defeated by a superior [[Covenant]] fleet of reinforcements at the [[Battle of Onyx]]. Most of the ships were destroyed and only the {{UNSCShip|Dusk}} survived to escape. Amazingly, Battlegroup Stalingrad destroyed a total of 20 covenant ships during the battle of Onyx, but was then totally destroyed by the covenant reinforcements.

+==Battle of Onyx==
+Battlegroup Stalingrad rendezvoused with the [[Dusk]] soon after entering the system. The UNSC ships engaged the [[Covenant]] fleet under [[Fleetmaster]] [[Voro 'Mantakree]], and took losses, including the [[Iwo Jima]] which sacrificed itself to save the [[Stalingrad]] from Covenant plasma torpedoes. Following this engagement, Admiral Patterson ordered a withdrawal. Battlegroup Stalingrad temporarily went into hiding.
+The remaining UNSC ships hid behind Onyx's moon. Meanwhile, the Dusk prepared a nuclear minefield as a trap for the Covenant. The UNSC lured the Covenant into the minefields, and used the nukes to destroy the entire Covenant fleet save for two badly damaged destroyers to the human four. Battlegroup Stalingrad moved in for the kill with six [[MAC]] rounds left. Unfortunately, at this point [[Sangheili]] reinforcements arrived in the form of over thirty warships. Battlegroup Stalingrad was annihilated except for the Dusk by these reinforcements.
