Battle of Asmara (Earth-5875)

The Battle of Asmara was an engagement of the First Contact War on the Outer colony Asmara, which ended with the Covenant's destruction and glassing of the planet.

History
Gage Yevgeny and his ODST squad participated in the brutal battle. Led by Major Tobias Sedavian, he and 20 other ODSTs were killed by a single sangheili with an energy sword, who only did not kill more because of Yevgeny killing the alien with a rocket launcher.
