The engagment however was against a very small fleet of two assault carriers and a few cruisers. This engagement was commanded by both Fleet Admirals Hood and [[Harper]]. | ||
On Cairo Station, Fleet Admiral Hood was awarding [[John-117]], [[Avery Johnson]], and [[Jacob Keyes]] for their actions at the first Halo. When [[Cortana]] got a slipspace rupture report near Io, she relayed the information to FADM Hood. When the Covenant Force arrived, the Home Fleet was ready and waiting. Opening up with Marathon Class Cruisers and MAC Shells, they decimated the Covenant Fleet, but suffered heavy losses themselves. Also during the engagement, the Covenant released boarding pods to occupy and destroy the MAC Platforms. Stations Athens and Malta were both destroyed, but Cairo was spared destructon by [[Spartan-117]], who later took the bomb and destroyed one of the two [[Assault Carriers]]. | |||
