Battle of Sargasso

Town of Belisk, 2546

.

.

UNSC forces under Captain Veronica Dare defended the Human colony of Sargasso from the Covenant Empire during the earlier stage of the Human-Covenant War. Utilizing ODST Special Forces units and a large Marine presence on the planet, the UNSC was able to combat the invading Fleet, though not without heavy losses. Sarah Palmer, an ODST Lance Corporal at the time, was the last survivor of Gamma-Six, an ODST squadron that participated actively in the battle. The planet would eventually, according to some sources, be glassed by the covenant.

Though not much is known about the planet itself, Sargasso was a lush, tropical planet, covered by jungle and swampland. There were multiple cities and towns sprinkled across the planet, including Belisk, where our ODSTs and Marines are seen fighting off the Covenant ground force.

A collaboration between @natelego_ and @alex_bricks . This build depicts our interpretation of Halo: New Blood, where Sargasso and the battle are mentioned. We tried to show the tropical elements with ground cover and multiple trees, while we also created the town of Belisk based on some concept images found online. Alex’s custom vehicles included the Warthog and Mongoose, both built by him using his own design. He also built an ODST drop pod the day before the con. Huge shoutout to @bricktactical for their superb marine helmets and armor, as well as their marvelously designed Halo weapons! The covenant designs for the Elites and Jackals are @bricktechstudios ‘s designs as well as the UNSC barricade. Thanks to @empirelug for letting us display this at their booth for Brickfair VA 2022.
