Talk:Battle of Meridian

Glassing date

Tanaka says the Covenant glassed, not just attacked, Meridian in '48. Barring an inconsistency or Tanaka misremembering things, is it possible that the final battle actually did take place in 2548 and the Covenant just either stuck around for three years or returned to look for Forerunner artifacts in 2551? The only apparent discrepancy is that the H2A terminal does seem to imply Meridian has been glassed only recently seeing as it's still on fire. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 10:29, 29 October 2015 (EDT)

It's possible that Tanaka is misremembering things. One of the pieces of intel mentions that just a couple years after the UEG defeated the Covenant at Meridian, the Covenant returned and glassed the moon. It could have been partially glassed, but Tanaka also says that the UNSC abandoned Meridian, so it's probably just an inconsistency. There may be more intel on Meridian in the game. --NightHammer^{(talk)(contribs)} 10:32, 29 October 2015 (EDT)
