| rdfs:comment | - The Fall of New Carthage, also known as the Battle of New Carthage, was a major orbital and terrestrial battle that occurred in 2549 on the inner colony of New Carthage in the Wolf 424 system. A small Covenant Navy force entered the system on 29 November and attacked the colony the following morning, which the UNSC defeated through a combination of mines and fire from orbital defence platforms. On 2 December, a significantly larger Covenant force entered the system and blockaded the world, simultaneously preventing civilian vessels from escaping the system and attempting to force the UNSC into a decisive battle.

| abstract | - The Fall of New Carthage, also known as the Battle of New Carthage, was a major orbital and terrestrial battle that occurred in 2549 on the inner colony of New Carthage in the Wolf 424 system. A small Covenant Navy force entered the system on 29 November and attacked the colony the following morning, which the UNSC defeated through a combination of mines and fire from orbital defence platforms. On 2 December, a significantly larger Covenant force entered the system and blockaded the world, simultaneously preventing civilian vessels from escaping the system and attempting to force the UNSC into a decisive battle. After a prolonged and costly battle, UNSC forces were defeated and the planet was rendered uninhabitable from orbit by the Covenant. However, this was not before most of the planet's two million inhabitants were successfully evacuated.
