Battle of Fairfax II

The Battle of Fairfax II, also known by the Covenant as the Battle of Bath'tet, was a major battle of the Human-Covenant War.

The Battle
At the beginning of the engagement, the Covenant's Select Fleet of Tempered Resolve deployed seven legions against an immense coastal refinery the size of a city, with the 56 Dasim of Eayn Dragoons leading the attack in the vanguard. The highly-fortified UNSC forces, which included M12 Warthogs and M808 Scorpions, held off the Covenant attack for three days. Their anti-aircraft defenses cut down their enemy's gunship cover and inflicted grave casualties among the invaders.

Aftermath
Recognizing the value of Fairfax II's fuel-rich seas, the Covenant established their own refineries on the planet. This would be used to more easily resupply fuel to fleets and armies closer to the frontlines.

The 56 Dasim of Eayn Dragoons became famous for being the first unit to touch down on Fairfax II, with their veterans being held in some esteem by others in the Covenant. However, a number of the soldiers that fought here retired due to the trauma they experienced, with some, such as [[
