On March 2, 2494, the group found the Callisto in the 26 Draconis System, and the destroyers each fired six of their Ares Missiles. However, the Callisto managed to avoid destruction by hiding behind an asteroid. They then detonated it towards the UNSC ships by using a nuke that had been planted earlier. The Buenos Aires was destroyed and lost with all hands. The Jericho and Las Vegas were severely damaged.
