The Massacre of Epsilon III

Major Rawne 001 04:14, August 5, 2010 (UTC) The Planet of Epsilon III began its planetary evacuation 3 days after the The Battle for Epsilon IV. By August 7th 2535 80% of the planets population was loaded into 80 transport ships stationed in the planets orbit. On August 9th 2535 a single Brute controlled CCS_Class Battle Cruiser the Foreward Promise entered just outside of the planet's orbit. The Brutes were happy to see that no UNSC warships or defense platforms were positioned in the area. The Brutes immedeiatly began to attack the ships. After 3 hours of attacking, all 80 ships were nothing but burnt out husks and shells with the remains of billions on civilian lives floating around the debris. With only 20% of the population left the brutes began attacking the planet's main cities and twons. By August 11th the planet was but partalily glassed and all human life on the surface eradicated. The Prophets were very pleased with the Brute Cheiftain for it was a sign from the gods that this planet must be worthy of the Prophets to see its former beauty from not being glassed.
