The Battle of Hyacinth was the system-wide naval engagement attached to the Siege of Jacinto. While the majority of naval engagements occurred around the planet, both the UNSC and Covenant would conduct limited military operations throughout the solar system. The battle ended two days before official hostilities between the Covenant and the UNSC ended on Jacinto. However, the Covenant's ability to effectively continue their naval campaign was crippled four months earlier, as a crushing defeat destroyed what remained of their strongest ships along with their agricultural ships, preventing the resupplying of their ground forces. By January 2553, Jacinto was effectively liberated from the Covenant, with only a few holdouts remaining.
