The Siege of the Atlas Moons was a prolonged battle between the UNSC and the Covenant.[1]

Little to nothing is known of this battle except that Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb fought in the engagement and gained a reputation as a great military Commander. This was seen to be a rare victory for the UNSC, as victories in space-based fighting were uncommon for the UNSC Human Fleet. It is, as far, unknown if the planet Atlas itself was involved in the fighting, but it is more than probable to speculate it was.
