They dare stand against us! Charge lateral lines and burn the Human filth that lie before us! Burn them out of this existence, let their destruction be a testament to the Gods that we are worthy!Battle Of Draco III[]
In the year 2545, the UNSC Colony of Draco was attacked by the Covenant Empire. Draco III had a very large urbanised population centered around the cities of, New Albany, and Karnak in the region of Lombard. During the battle, many UNSC Naval assets were stationed in system. SPARTAN II's did take part in the ground engagement, as did UNSC Army and UNSC Marines as well as ODST's. For this RP, Draco will be a temperate climate, 1G planet. The Lombard region is covered in rich, lush, rolling green forests and grasslands. Also in the RP, the battle is set in the month of August. The major and most crucial City of the planets two, is the cities of, New Albany, it is an urban sprawl of residential housing and infrastructure, layered out into many districts.
Several UNSC scientists have found a mysterious Forerunner artifact in an underground complex somewhere below the soil of the Lombard region, the object will be described better at a later date. The Object did however, begin to emit some kind of sub-radiation that could be picked up in both Normal-Space, as well as Slipspace, it could be picked up for one light-year in every direction, but it stopped within 24 (Human) Hours of it's activation. It is most likely the reason the Covenant located the Colony.
In the actual canon of the Halo series, after Draco III fell to Covenant hands, SPARTAN II's still on the ground witnessed the Covenant gather the remaining civilian, men, women, and children, and kill them, feeding their remains to the Kig-Yar and Brutes.
RP[]
This is a canon friendly RP, so stick close to Halo lore. The colony of Draco III fell, so in this RP it WILL fall to the Covenant. HOWEVER, at what cost did the Covenant pay for their victory, that's for the writers (you) to decide. SPARTAN II's are present on the ground, but please do not field too many of them. Various UNSC Regiments are stationed on the surface of Draco, from Armor Battalions to Artillery Corps. Once registrations have closed for this event, all UNSC players will converse on what their tactics will be, and who will be leading what. This is an RP that is meant to focus on the concept of Naval warfare, and I would like actual players to take up the part of Fleet Admirals and Captains, and for them to influence other player characters and ships. There will be ground engagements as well, but I won't really write many sections in which my personal ground elements take part. players are meant to assist other players during the battle if they are able to. I have not Specified a specific starting date as of yet.

Ground Briefing (UNSC)[]
All UNSC ground assets will need to focus on four major objectives. You can also create your own special objectives (Field Hospitals, Recon, Ect.), so use your imagination.
1. Defending numerous ground generator complexes that supply power to UNSC MAC Platforms in orbit.
2. The evacuation of Civilians is a CRUCIAL story point and is high priority. You will need to set up evacuation points and inform players with available Naval and Air assets that you have established areas to evacuate Civilians.
- Assets will need to locate and secure ONI personnel from the Hotel Crimson in the Red District in the City Of New Albany.
- Assets will need to assist evacuations at the Integris Local Hospital in the City Of New Albany.
- Assets will be holding the two bridges leading to the artificial island that is home to the City Of New Albany's two Orbital Elevators.
3. Defending the ground based MAC's and Rail-guns that prohibit Covenant Capital ships from entering the heart of the city.
4. Defending the Orbital Elevators in each city, there are two in the City Of New Albany and one in Karnak.
Ground Briefing (Covenant)[]
The Human filth has unearthed sacred Artifacts on the surface of this world! We shall not let their unworthy presence desecrate it any longer!
1. Decimate human fleet in-system and around the planet, and land units on the surface to begin searching for sacred artifacts.
2. Destroy orbital elevators and hunt enemy militants. Also target MAC generators supplying power to ODF platforms in orbit.
3. Slaughter local human filth in their settlements.
4. Begin to burn all unessential areas on the surface of Draco III and begin excavation.
5. Covenant ships (Carriers and Cruisers, etc.) can't land or deploy grav-lifts inside any city limits until the ground based MAC's and Shiva Missile launchers inside the city are destroyed.
6. Locate the Forerunner beacon somewhere beneath the city.
