"The natural beauty of Jejudo had made it famous for Korean honeymooners, now it's known for the small memorial left in honor of the men and women who sacrificed their lives."

- Colonel Seungmin Han

Introduction
The battle of Jejudo, more commonly known as the Siege of Jejudo, took place in 2552, December 14th - December 17th. When the Second Battle of Earth first began a large number of civilians from the southern portion of Korean fled to the underground bunkers and shelters in Jejudo. To guard the bunker the 58th Marine Garrison Battalion was left to insure security for the refugees. However after a month underground a minor water problem occured in the bunker, the commander of the shelter used a radio transmission to call for assistance but this was intercepted by a nearby CCS Battle Cruiser, the Unfeigned Mercy. When the Unfeigned Mercy realized that the island held underground shelters it began to turn its sights towards it. UNSC Intellegence soon saw the action and sent the 11th ODST Mobile Infantry Battalion and the 243rd Flight Squadron to aid in the defense of the island.

Time Line

 * November 3, 2552: 353,671 Civilians from the southern portion of Korea are sent to the underground shelter on the island of Jejudo as the Second Battle of Earth begins, 58th Marine Garrison Battalion is assigned to defend the shelter.


 * December 8, 2552: Minor problem occurs in the shelter's water system.


 * December 10, 2552: Commander Jungeen Ki sends out an encrypted radio transmission asking for assistance to water problem. Unfeigned Mercy intercepts the transmission and begins to head for Jejudo. UNSC HIGHCOM sends the nearby 11th ODST Mobile Infantry Battalion and the 243rd Flight Squadron to defend the shelter.


 * December 11, 2552: 11th, 243rd, and 58th under the command of Colonel Seungmin Han prepare defenses of Jejudo.


 * December 12, 2552: Unfeigned Mercy is spotted off the coast of Jejudo and holding its position.


 * December 13, 2552: Known later by the defenders as the Staring Contest, both sides simply wait to see who will make the first move.


 * December 14, 2552: Unfeigned Mercy launches its forces. Seige of Jejudo begins. The 11th and 58th defend the islands edges for an hour before being forced to pull back to their second line of defense. Metellus Pack leads the offensive on the Western side of the island pushing the defenders of the 11th back against the Halla Mountain. The Macrius Pack pushes from the North against the 58th. Soon the defenders are in their final defensive position around the mountain. There is a pause in the battle when darkness comes.


 * December 15, 2552: Triarius Pack leads an offensive against the heavily defended center at dawn. The 11th, 58th, and 243rd are able to beat back waves of assaults that come every few hours until the attack stops at nightfall. Confident Triarius orders the Unfeigned Mercy to head towards the mainland to assist other Loyalist vessels.


 * December 16, 2552: Metellus Pack takes charge against the weaker defended flanks of the human positions which causes an almost fatal collapse of the whole defense. However a quick counterattack by the 243rd manages to cause the Brutes to make a retreat. The 11th, 58th, and 243rd are forced to tighten their perimeter and hold of another attack on their center. By nightfall the attacks stop. Colonel Seungnim Han takes this to his advantage and plans for a counter-offensive.


 * December 17, 2552: The 11th lead a counterattack just before dawn with the 58th on their right flank. The 243rd provide close air support around the clock and use the remains of their munitions and fuel by noon. The counterattack broke through the Brute's center and caused the rest of the Loyalist forces to fold. Unable to retreat with an ocean at their backs and the Unfeigned Mercy two days away the Brutes put up a defense that would slowly be knoked out one by one. The battle would soon come to ts end at 7:42 pm when Foxtrot Company radioed the last of the defenders dead or captured.
