The defense of Concord was an engagement of the Human-Covenant War in 2551 between the United Nations Space Command and the Covenant on the human colony planet of Concord.[1]
Battle
Operations
On December 6, 2551 at 0720Z MST as part of Operation: GYPSUM, Sergeant Sigrid Eklund and a group of UNSC Army Rangers managed to clear out the Caravelle province at the cost of two M9 Wolverines. They then prepared to redeploy to a nearby mass driver station which was being defended by dwindling militia forces.[2]
Operation: SHARP ANGLE was ongoing elsewhere at roughly the same, while Operation: OFFSET EYE was unconfirmed to be happening.[2]
MJOLNIR
During the battle, several test models of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor [GEN2] were utilized, albeit without their full combat suites. Notably, the VENATOR-class Mjolnir—manufactured by Concord's Lethbridge Industrial—gained prominence during the defense of Concord due to the armor's effectiveness in hand-to-hand and single-enemy combat.[1]
Aftermath
The engagement resulted in a victory for the UNSC, as Concord survived the Covenant War and remained inhabited after the war.[3]
