| |
| ===The Battle of Harvest===
| |
| 2525
| |
|
| |
| On April 20th, 2525, contact with the outer colony Harvest was lost. After failing to re-establish contact with Harvest, the Colonial Military Administration (CMA) sent a scout ship, the Argo, to investigate. Contact with the Argo was subsequently lost after the ship arrived in the Harvest system. The CMA dispatched a battle group to Harvest, consisting of three warships. The lead ship in the battle group, the Heracles, returned to Reach, badly damaged and with heavy casualties. The ship's commander reported that an alien warship with powerful weaponry was present, and had decimated Harvest, exterminating the colonists (and presumably destroying the Argo).
| |
|
| |
| The battle group engaged the alien warship and was thoroughly routed. The Heracles—following the destruction of the other two ships in the group—jumped out of the system, but due to the damage she had sustained, took several weeks to make it back to Reach.
| |
|
| |
| The Earth military immediately raised their alert status and began preparations to retake Harvest. By December, a massive Earth war fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Preston Cole had mobilized, one of the fastest mobilizations of such a large fleet in the history of humankind.
| |
|
| |
| ===Battle of New Constantinople===
| |
| Admiral Whitcomb was promoted to Vice Admiral after his heroic and brilliant victory at the Battle of New Constantinople.
| |
|
| |
| ===The Siege of Paris IV==
| |
| Sgt. A. J. Johnson distinguished himself in this major conflict by holding off the Covenant troops with his forces at the main evac complex long enough for the evacuation ships to leave and get into orbit. He was extracted with severe injuries along with his men, but lived.
| |
|
| |
| ===The Fall of Reach===
| |
| This battle was just before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved
| |
|
| |
| ===The Siege of the Atlas Moons===
| |
| Admiral Whitcomb once again distinguished himself during the Siege of the Atlas Moons, and was given high honors for his tactical prowess.
