  • Siege of Jacinto
rdfs:comment
  • The Siege of Jacinto City or the sinking of Jacinto was the turning point in the Locust War. With the Locust Horde suffering massive losses and a damaged infrastructure from the Lightmass Offensive; the Horde decided to the only way to defeat the Humans was to attack their last bastion of hope: Jacinto City. With Skorge using the Rift Worm to destroy cities and military installations around Jacinto, the Horde was then able to attack North Gate Agricultural Depot and water pipelines, depriving Jacinto of supplies. This lead the COG high command to regroup and make a counter-attack: Operation: Hollow Storm.
  • Being one of the longest and largest military campaigns during the Human-Covenant War, the Siege of Jacinto stands out. The fighting on Jacinto is considered one of the worst battles of the war, with conditions rapidly deteriorating, outbreak of disease and horrific close quarters engagements between humanity and the Covenant. Historians have claimed that Jacinto was the most hard fought battle of the war, with such human ferocity never before seen especially on Earth or Reach, which were considered the two most important human worlds.

The Siege of Jacinto was also known for the first official documented cases of Covenant morale reaching an all-time low and the first ever observations of post-traumatic stress-like symptoms displayed in Sangheili prisoners of war.
