Human-Covenant war
In 2529,[1] Asmara was discovered and attacked by the Covenant.[3] Gage Yevgenny's team of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers was involved in the defense of the planet. One ODST to die in the battle was Mason, after a Sangheili speared him along with ten other ODSTs with an energy sword before Gage got off a near point-blank shot with a missile launcher.[2] Ultimately, the United Nations Space Command would be unable to repel the invaders from Asmara and the world was glassed.[1][3]
