Battle Group 4
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ratings Template:Infobox Military Unit Battlegroup 4 was a formation of the UNSC Colonial Military Administration[1]. In October 7th, 2525, it operated under the command of Captain Maribeau Veredi. It was sent to investigate unknown aggression on the outer colony world of Harvest.[2]
Background
After communications was lost with the UNSC colony Harvest, the scout ship CMA Argo was sent to investigate. It arrived in-system but was lost shortly after. In response, the UNSC organized Battlegroup 4 to investigate Harvest.
When the Battlegroup arrived, it discovered the Covenant ship responsible for the massacre of Harvest and destruction of the Argo. Veredi followed UNSC first contact protocols, but the Covenant ship suddenly opened fire. The Battlegroup returned fire, but its Archer Missiles seemed to have no effect. Soon, the Arabia and Vostok were destroyed, and the Heracles was severely damaged.
Before leaving, the Battlegroup picked up a transmission in English from the Covenant ship: "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument." The Heracles retreated into slipspace, and when it returned to UNSC territory, Veredi told the UNSC of what took place, and a larger battlegroup was assembled by Preston Cole to retake Harvest.
