User:ProphetOfRegret/Battle of Washington D.C.

The Battle of Washington D.C. was a battle that took place between the UNSC, Covenant Loyalists, and Covenant Separatists during the Human-Covenant War. There were heavy casualties in both sides.

Background
The Prophet of Truth sent an unknown amount if Covenant troops to Washington D.C. to locate and secure any Forerunner artifacts and to kill any Humans. The UNSC sent Marines, ODSTs and Spartan IIs to the city to retake it.

Battle
Covenant Loyalists had surrounded portions of the city thought to have held Forerunner artifacts. The UNSC sent various forces to retake the city. Most squads were trapped behind these barricades and had to find their way out of the city. One such instance was Cpt. Joshua Brown's squad, who gathered UNSC and Separatist troops and exited the city. While they made their way out of the city, countless Covenant forces, including a Super Scarab, were killed. After they had made it outside of the city, they gave a UNSC forward operating base coordinates of Loyalist camps and troop movements. This information ultimately led to the city being saved.
