User:Ebon Shadowshot/Battle of Scar'liki

The Battle of Scar'liki was a conflict between the Covenant Loyalists and the Covenant Seperatists inbetween May and June 2554 on the planet Scar'liki. It was the first major conflict of the Great Schism since the Battle of Installation 00 over a year before. Loyalist forces combatted the Seperatists ships stationed at Scar'liki, shortly followed by deploying troops to the surface. Through numerous stealth operations and swift brutal attacks, the Loyalists managed to slowly take the planet from the Seperatists. Despite initial resistance, the natives of Scar'liki eventually sided with the Loyalists, causing the Seperatists to enter a full retreat.

The battle ended on 9th June 2554 after the destruction of the final Seperatist stronghold on the planet. Eventually, remaining Seperatist troops evacuated fully by August 2554.
