The Battle of Meridian was a conflict between UNSC and Covenant forces on the planet Meridian.[1] The first prototype for the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark IX "Mantis" ADS engaged in an action known as the "Cherbourg Run", in which it successfully engaged 18 heavily guarded Type-27 Anti Aircraft Cannons, also known as "Mantis". The success of the prototype in the "Cherbourg Run" is one of the theories of why the walker was eventually called "Mantis". However, the Covenant succeeded in glassing the planet.[2]
Following the battle, a Covenant Spec Ops team was dispatched by the Prophet of Regret to the planet's surface to search for Forerunner artifacts. The team retrieved a Luminary and delivered it to Regret. Some time later, Regret's Stewards successfully decrypted the Luminary, which revealed the existence of the final home of the Forerunners, as well as a portal that led to it. The Luminary also revealed the location of this portal, Erde-Tyrene. Regret ordered his fleet to head for this world at once, unaware that the planet was the home of Humanity. [3]
