SUMMARY
The Invasion of Draco III was a Covenant attack on the colony world of Draco III in January 2545. While the result of the battle was a strategic UNSC victory, most civilians were killed, either during the attack, or when the Covenant rounded up survivors to be hunted by the starving Unggoy and Kig-Yar. Spartan-IIs, including John-117 and Linda-058 were eventually deployed to rescue any remaining survivors, but none were recovered.
