Operation: GRENDEL

Operation: GRENDEL was a boarding operation undertaken by the Theban Defence Forces during the Battle of Thebes. In a desperate gamble, a joint task force of Naval Infantrymen led by Hector Nyeto and Kapiten Ramin Yekta successfully boarded and seized the Virtuous Triumph, using it to cripple a and another CCS-class cruiser. Though the operation resulted in heavy casualties for the Theban boarding party with over half of the force killed in combat, the action is generally agreed to have played a decisive role in preventing the glassing of Thebes by the Covenant.
