| abstract | - 02/14/2542 At 0100 hours an unknown and unscheduled Slip space rupture was detected at the outer edge of the planet's orbit. Long range scans from ONI Station Two picked up a fleet of Eight Covenant ships. Unsure how the Covenant found the secrete out post on Tetanus, ONI mobilized the battle group stationed at Station Two alongside the station defense fleet, to engage the Covenant threat and protect the orbital station as well as the vital military weapons test facility on the planet's surface. With Admiral Sibbet in charge of all naval units aboard his flag ship the UNSC Augustus, he spread his forces into three battle groups. With Admiral Wakefield leading battle group set to defend the immediate orbit around Tetanus, Wakefield's fleet was call signed Shield. Sibbet led battle group Sword, who would advance along the left side of Battle group Shield and engage the enemy. On the Right side of battle group shield, pushing around the outer edge of the system using the mining stations and asteroid belt to cover the approach, was newly promoted Rear Admiral Dravere's battle group Javelin. Battle group Shield was the first to be engaged by a wave of Covenant plasma torpedoes. It wasn't long before the Covenant fleet split into two groups. One battle cruiser and four Corvettes, pushed towards battle group Javelin. The other made close range contact with Battle group Sword. For the opening phases of the battle, the tide was turned to the Covenant fleet. Battle group Sword lost three of its seven frigates before the shields on the first Corvette failed. Battle group Shield was in an equally bad way. The Covenant fleet opened fire with a barrage of Plasma torpedoes, most of which the ship's point defense turrets managed to eliminate prior to impact and whose heavy Titanium armor with stood. The Corvettes launched a barrage of Plasma cannons against the frigates crippling one of the Frigate's weapon systems. With the UNSC in retaliation, Battle group Javelin launched a massed Archer missile barrage at the CCS battle cruiser but had no effect. Battle group Shield, though battered still mostly undamaged, opened fire with their MAC guns on the leading Corvettes. The salvo completely obliterated the two Corvettes directly in their path. A follow up storm of Archer missiles crippled another behind the lead ships. Surviving the return fire from the covenant, the ships of battle group Shield and Javelin were able to get into position to unleash a full barrage of MAC rounds. Close to a dozen MAC rounds tore into the cruiser, collapsing it's shields and shredding the armor and ship systems below. With it's engine's cut out from the rest of the hull, the ship became a lifeless husk. With no power to seal off the bulkheads, the breaches in space caused by the MAC rounds and the following Archer missiles prevented any means to keep the atmosphere in the ship ultimately meaning doom for the crew. The last of the corvettes managed to escape into the asteroid field and enacted a bloody revenge on the UNSC, destroying three more Frigates in their escape. As the CCS Battle Cruiser Judge of Faith, moved into position behind the UNSC Augustus with its SDV escorts, a cannonade of plasma fire destroyed the Frigate escort before crippling the heavy cruiser. Though the Augustus tried to abandon the ship, multiple strikes from the Jude of Faith's plasma lance cut the ship in half, sending the remains tumbling into the nearby Asteroid. With the Flag ship destroyed, command went to rear admiral Wakefield aboard the UNSC Texas. The admiral took stock of the situation and with Battle Group Shield all but destroyed, he rallied with rear Admiral Dravere and joined the UNSC Heimdall in Battle Group Javelin. Bringing the battle Group out of the asteroid belt, Admiral Wakefield screamed his ships to the far side of the planet to engage the remaining Covenant Battle Cruiser and finish off its corvette escorts. It didn't take long before a trio of MAC rounds blew the trailing covenant Corvette to pieces and the Texas and Heimdall were bearing down on the Covenant's Judge of Faith. Launching MAC rounds and Archer missiles at the fleeing cruiser, they caused minimal damage, but was still enough to slow the ship down from rallying with the three Corvettes operating in the Asteroid belt. Not willing to let the covenant escape and threaten the location of the planet, Admiral Wakefield ordered his Naval Security Squads to mount up and prepare to board the Covenant Cruiser. The four pelican drop ships launch under the cover of another Archer missile barrage.
