User:Justanothergrunt/Battle Above Warial

The battle over Warial, was the 1st battle of the Warial Campaigns.

Prelude
A small Covenant Fleet, had been sent to discover the Brute homeworld, Doisac, and try to Glass it. This fleet succeeded in locating Doisac, but was suprised by another large fleet intercepting them from the planets moon, Warial.

1st Phase of Attacks
The Brute spacecraft, were of far poorer quality to the Covenant, they were slow, but had more powerful weapons. Which were also, unfortunatly (for the Brutes), slow.

This led to much of the suprise of the attack being lost, and many Brute ships were shot down before even getting close to their Covenant counter-parts.

2nd Phase
However several ships succeeded in escaping the chaos in space, and boarded the Covenant Cruisers.

With their melee weapons, they dismantled 2 of the Cruisers from the inside, and would slaughter the ships crews.

The Brutes tried the same tactic on dropships, and though it worked, it cost far more lives to achieve, as they would often miss the dropship targets.

The Plasma cannons on all three of the cruisers were eventually disabled, which left the Covenant plan, impossible to complete, so the Brutes retreated back to Warial, followed by the Covenant.

Aftermath
The Prophet of Serenity, ordered the Military bases on Warial to be captured allowing easy access to the Brute Homeworld. This would lead to the Warial Campaign.
