The Battle of Frost was a large three way battle Fought between the UNSC, the Covenant, and the Flood. It was fought over planet Frost.

Flood: -Numerous flood forces (Presumed to have been there for ages)

Generals:

UNSC: - Adrien Gardin

Covenant:

-Unidentified Covenant Leader

Flood:

-No discernable Leader, presumed a Gravemind

Early Scouting:

When the UNSC first sent down a colony ship on frost, they scouted the area to look for suitable land. Upon finding a plateau overlooking a part of a continent long canyon. What they found was a large number of covenant occupied territories. More scouting revealed that they had a sizable defense force.

Early Battles:

Most early fighting was fought on covenant land. During this, many UNSC and Covenant squads were lost. UNSC due to heavy use of covenant Needler Mortar shards. Covenant due to an overall out numbering.

Significant battles include

-Battle of the Ice ridge:

The battle of the Ice ridge was more of a skirmish than a battle, but is recognized as such by historians. While scaling down the canyon wall to secure a suitable vehicle drop zone, UNSC forces were attacked by numerous Jackals hiding in sniping positions. Few UNSC forces were lost during the fight but numerous Jackal squads were.

-Battle of the ice lake:

After securing a landing zone a UNSC convoy was attacked by Covenant Heavy Needler Mortar fire. They had to garrison the Warthogs at an ice lake and hold out until Adrien Gardin and Wolf team could eliminate the Mortars on the hills. While garrisoned they were attacked by atleast one hunter pair, and a squad of ghosts. Most of the Warthogs were destroyed by either the Mortars or the ghosts.

Later Battles:

-Battle of the Plasma refueling Center:

After fighting through numerous outposts they found a large Plasma refueling and refining center. The leader of Wolf Team and Adrien gardin came up with a plan that would significantly cripple the covenant forces on the planet. UNSC wolf team, Adrien, and a gauss warthog battalion would storm the gate, kill the defenders, and take up Mortars to keep out covenant reinforcements. WHile storming the gate Wolf team ran into a problem. Their squad was pinned down by Wraith Plasma Mortars. They called in a longsword bombing run to eliminate them. WHen the bomb run happened, they managed to push up the plan by blowing the door down. After eliminating hostiles and protecting the forces planting the bombs, the UNSC retreated to a safe distance and watched the giant explosion opening a way into the flood storage chamber.

The next major battle of the frost war was fought on the UNSC raven. That was known as the Battle of the Raven and was the last battle fought by the UNSC and Flood. (As all remaining covenant was no doubt consumed by flood)
