When the [[Covenant]] discovered Algolis circa early [[2549]],{{Ref/NoteReuse|date}} the particular element of the planet was believed to be the purpose of the Covenant's specific interest in this particular human colony world.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} As a result, they would quickly send a small but effective Covenant invasion [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] to cruelly invade the colony.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} The aliens' main objective was the destruction of [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]], where the UNSC was developing highly advanced weaponry. At the time of the beginning of the Covenant assault, Algolis was largely undefended as only a [[Unidentified UNSC frigate (Algolis)|lone]] {{Class|Charon|light frigate}} was present during the early stage of the invasion in order to evacuate the population of Algolis.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} | When the [[Covenant]] discovered Algolis circa early [[2549]],{{Ref/NoteReuse|date}} the particular element of the planet was believed to be the purpose of the Covenant's specific interest in this particular human colony world.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} As a result, they would quickly send a small but effective Covenant invasion [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] to cruelly invade the colony.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} The aliens' main objective was the destruction of [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]], where the UNSC was developing highly advanced weaponry.

When the Covenant arrived, civilians immediately began to prepare their transport ships for evacuation.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} However, many of them were destroyed before they could even breach the planet's atmosphere.

As the swift and cruel siege on Algolis still raged on the surface while the civilians were being evacuated by Marines, a UNSC demolitions squad nicknamed the [[Hades Corps]], a team of [[UNSC Marine Corps of Engineers|combat engineers]], was tasked to [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]] to enact the [[Cole Protocol]], destroying navigation data and a [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS|prototypical combat exoskeleton]] and preventing them from falling into Covenant hands.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} The Covenant attacked the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] in full force, breaking their defensive line and pinning down the survivors, and infiltrating heavy casualties.
