Battle of Charybdis IX: Difference between revisions

Before the battle, a group of [[Kig-Yar]] led by [[Reth]] began to trade modified weapons with [[Insurrectionist|human insurgents]] at [[the Rubble]]. Unknown to the Insurrectionists, the Kig-Yar were following orders from the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 222''</ref> The Kig-Yar had placed hidden trackers on the weapons and the insurgents were then bringing the weapons to other [[human colonies]]. The Covenant had discovered Charybdis IX after following tracking information on the modified weapons.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 93''</ref>

The Covenant fleet arrived at Charybdis IX overwhelming the three [[UNSC destroyer]]s in orbit. The {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}, a {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}, was nearby as well, but did not take part in the combat. Two of the destroyers were almost immediately eliminated, but the {{UNSCShip|Do You Feel Lucky?}} was disabled.
