The Battle of Draco III was fought on the planet of Draco III. After the Covenant had defeated UNSC ground forces, they didn't take any prisoners. The Covenant herded civilian survivers together and the survivers were torn apart by ravenous Grunts and Jackals. There were no survivers. The Spartan-IIs watched all of this through satellite linkup. By the time the Spartans got there, there was no one left to rescue. But the Spartans then killed the Covenant forces. [1]
