The Battle of Saturn was a large scale battle taking place between Saturn and Uranus on October 20th, 2552 between the UNSC and the Sangheili on one side, and the Covenant Empire on the other.

Beginning
The UNSC had discovered Regret's fleet once it had passed Neptune, and sent a large strike force of 4 Halcyon-class Cruisers, 1 Marathon-class Cruiser, 25 Heavy Destroyers, 50 Frigates and 15 Prowlers. The Prowlers had been sent to gather information on Regret's fleet, and came back and said that his fleet consisted of Thirteen CCS-class Battlecruisers, and two Assault Carriers. Then, the UNSC Strike force's commander, Admiral Rekjea Vann, gave the order to attack Regret's fleet. Admiral Rekjea, having never faced the Covenant in open combat, had extremely underestimated the power of Thirteen CCS-class Battlecruisers, and two Assault Carriers.

One hour into the battle, 2 Halcyon-class Cruisers, the UNSC Orphaned Prince and the UNSC Neverending Night, 7 Prowlers, 36 Frigates and 12 Heavy Destroyers had been destroyed. The lead ship, the Marathon-class Cruiser UNSC Brightest Star, had been mildly damaged. On the Covenant side, 9 CCS-class Battlecruisers had been destroyed, and one Assault Carrier had been severely damaged. The UNSC had sent in renforcments about this time, it consisted of 3 Prowlers, 21 Frigates and 7 Heavy Destroyers. But Regret's fleet was on it's own. Just then, a Assault Carrier was destroyed when
