Invasion of Exodus

The Invasion of Exodus was the name given to a large-scale, planetary invasion of the Covenant-controlled world of Exodus. The taskforce tasked with invading the planet was made up of the three new Yorktown-Class Supercarriers, an Elite-controlled Prophet-Class Supercarrier, multiple destroyers and a combined army of over a million Humans and Elites. The main commanders of Battle Group Exodus were: Aubrey Mallory, captain of the UNSC Yorktown, Kiska-A121, commander of the ground forces, and later captain of the UNSC Enterprise, and Stras 'Vadum, shipmaster of the Purity of Dawn.
==Battle of the Exodus Belt==
The fight for Exodus officially began with a naval skirmish in the asteroid belt surrounding Exodus. During this battle, Battle Group Exodus faced off against a large fleet of Covenant cruisers and light carriers. Both the captain and first officer of the UNSC Enterprise were killed and command of the ship was transferred to Spartan, Lieutenant Colonel Kiska-A121.
==Flood Infection of Exodus==
Nearing the end of the invasion, a Covenant light carrier became infected when a flood-infected asteroid crashed into it. The light carrier then crashed onto the planet's surface directly into a Covenant base, causing a large-scale outbreak. UNSC and SOS forces joined with a few surviving Covenant groups in the area and eliminated the flood threat.
