A Covenant fleet unexpectedly appeared in orbit over Draetheus V and deployed numerous [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|Spirit]] dropships bound for its moon, [[X50]]. Spartan [[Edward Davis]] was deployed to support the security force of a research project in a location designated CF-32 in the northern continent of X50. After thwarting the initial assault, Davis moved to secure the UNSC's [[Research Facility Alpha]] and the Forerunner artifact located therein, which appeared to be the Covenant's main target.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 1: Assault on CF-32|Assault on CF-32]]''</ref> | A Covenant fleet unexpectedly appeared in orbit over Draetheus V and deployed numerous [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|Spirit]] dropships bound for its moon, [[X50]].

Davis realized they would be vulnerable to focused anti-aircraft fire, so, using [[M9 Main Anti-Aircraft Tank]]s, he began establishing air defenses west of the facility at a location designated Glacial Perch.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 3: Reinforcement of the Perch|Reinforcement of the Perch]]''</ref> | ||
While Spartan Davis was successful in slowing the enemy advance, the Covenant forces were too overwhelming. Sarah Palmer began fighting her way upstream through the invasion in an attempt to reach one of the northern outposts. Her plan was to destroy Covenant air support and give the [[AV-14 Hornet|UNSC Hornets]] a chance to land near the outposts. The ultimate goal was to get off X50 and warn Draetheus-V of the Covenant invasion. Within an hour of their arrival at [[X50]], the [[Covenant]] owned the moon. Despite the ferocity of the assault on X50, the UNSC forces on Draetheus V had no idea anything was going on because the planet's unique magnetic resonance frequently made off-world communication nearly impossible.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 4: Live to Fight|Live to Fight]]''</ref> | While Spartan Davis was successful in slowing the enemy advance, the Covenant forces were too overwhelming.
