Battle of Lagash

The Battle of Lagash was a battle early in the Human-Covenant War on the Outer Colony of Lagash. Already embroiled in heavy fighting between the local insurgents and the colonial government, the UNSC dispatched the 3rd Naval Fleet and several divisions of marines to assist the local Army units. While in the midst of anti-insurgent operations, the planet was discovered by the Covenant's Third Minor Fleet of Audacious Wrath, which attempted an invasion. Engaging the UNSC ships in orbit, the Covenant scored several kills early on but began suffering heavy casualties as the human ships regrouped and began waves of massed fire, downing several smaller ships and even damaging the Covenant flagship in the first hours.
While engaged in orbit, the Covenant ships began deployed waves of landing craft and fighters to the surface below, landing forces across Lagash's four continents.
