- "Cygnus? Didn't think there were any survivors."
- — Taylor H. Miles, upon hearing about a survivor from the battle.[1]
The Battle of New Jerusalem was an engagement in the Human-Covenant War. It was fought on the human colony world of New Jerusalem in Cygnus system between the UNSC and the Covenant in July or August 2552.[2][3][4]
The battle[edit]
In July or August of 2552, New Jerusalem was invaded by the Covenant; this invasion was resisted by the UNSC Army[5] and the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force, which was nearly annihilated.[6]
At some point during the battle, ODST Carlo Hoya was captured by the Covenant, but managed to escape, saving a dozen Naval officers' lives in the process. After the war, Hoya would go on to join the new SPARTAN-IV Program.[7]
Trivia[edit]
- It has been implied that Kojo Agu saw action on the planet at some point during the war, possibly simultaneously with the Rookie.[2][8]
- The presence of the Marine Expeditionary Force engaging in a "Rapid Offensive Picket" on New Jerusalem may suggest that at some point, the planet was lost to the Covenant, and the UNSC made an attempt to re-take it.
