After communications were lost with the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]], the [[Colonial Military Administration]] deployed the unarmed scout ship {{CMAShip|Argo}} to investigate. ''Argo'' arrived over Harvest in the [[Epsilon Indi system]] on [[2525#April|April 20, 2525]], but contact was lost with the scout ship shortly after. In response, the CMA and [[UNSC Fleet Command]] assembled Battle Group 4—consisting of the [[Hillsborough-class destroyer|destroyer]] {{CMAShip|Heracles}} and the [[Charon-class light frigate|frigates]] ''[[CMA Arabia|Arabia]]'' and ''[[CMA Vostok|Vostok]]''—to investigate Harvest, led by [[Captain]] [[Maribeau Veredi]].<ref name="timeline"/><ref name="for118"/> | After communications were lost with the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]], the [[Colonial Military Administration]] deployed the unarmed scout ship {{CMAShip|Argo}} to investigate.

When the battle group arrived over Harvest on [[2525#October|October 7, 2525]], they discovered that the planet's surface was partially [[Glassing|glassed]] and detected the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant super-destroyer|super-destroyer]] responsible for the massacre of Harvest and destruction of ''Argo''. Veredi followed first-contact protocols by attempting to initiate communications with the ship, but the Covenant super-destroyer suddenly opened fire upon the battle group with its [[pulse laser turret]]s. The battle group returned fire, but their [[Archer missile]]s had no apparent effect. In fourteen seconds, ''Arabia'' and ''Vostok'' were destroyed—lost with all hands—and ''Heracles'' was severely damaged.<ref name="for118"/><ref name="Genesis"/><ref name="site timeline">[http://www.halowars.com/gameinfo/timeline2.aspx '''Official Halo Wars Community Site''': ''Timeline'']</ref> | When the battle group arrived over Harvest on [[2525#October|October 7, 2525]], they discovered that the planet's surface was partially [[Glassing|glassed]] and detected the [[Covenant]] [[Covenant super-destroyer|super-destroyer]] responsible for the massacre of Harvest and destruction of ''Argo''.
