A UNSC strike force of four [[Warthog]]s and three [[Pelican Dropship]]s were dispatched over Grid Kilo 23 to attack the [[Covenant]] ship that was commanding the [[Covenant]] forces in the [[First Battle of Earth]] (where the Battle of [[New Mombasa]] had originated from). | ||
[[Marine]] reconnaissance observing the grid sector noted the high [[Covenant]] troop concentrations, but failed to see the [[Scarab]] battle walker. As the three Pelicans neared the Scarab, unaware of its presence, the Scarab shot two of them down with its plasma [[weapons]]. There were several survivors at each crash site, though in both cases the pilots perished in the crash. One of them consisted of [[SPARTAN-117]], [[Sergeant]] [[Avery J.
