On October 25, [[2558]], the first [[Promethean]]s appeared on the surface of [[Meridian]] and immediately began attacking the miners of the Liang-Dortmund Corporation. The LDC was largely unprepared and stood little chance against the sudden and overwhelmingly aggressive constructs.

The LDC was largely unprepared and stood little chance against the sudden and overwhelmingly aggressive constructs. The meager air forces and anti-air batteries which the LDC could muster were swiftly destroyed by the Prometheans' [[Phaeton|Phaetons]], and all evacuation attempts were discontinued when the moon's only [[space elevator]], [[Pinnacle Station]], was surrounded by Promethean infantry.{{Ref/Reuse|H5Gglass}} | ||
Shortly after the start of the attack, [[Fireteam Osiris]] arrived above the moon and began a descent on the [[space elevator]], not realizing that the mining colony was under attack. As the [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTANs]] were approaching the surface, they were hailed by [[Governor]] [[Sloan]], who demanded to know what the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] was doing at the old colony. Realizing that the Liang-Dortmund Corporation had made violent contact with Promethean forces, [[Jameson Locke|SPARTAN Locke]] pledged to aid the LDC in exchange for assistance in locating [[Blue Team]]. After making landfall, Fireteam Osiris broke the siege of Pinnacle Station and pushed towards [[Meridian Station (location)|Meridian Station]], where the brunt of the Promethean attack was centered.{{Ref/Reuse|H5Gglass}} | Shortly after the start of the attack, [[Fireteam Osiris]] arrived above the moon and began a descent on the [[space elevator]], not realizing that the mining colony was under attack.
