Background
COG High Command and COG Intel originally thought that the Locust would have to travel across the surface from an area outside the Jacinto Plateau in order to invade Ephyra. However, there was an unidentified fissure under the Jacinto Plateau that was only discovered just before the Locust began their assault. The battle ended with the southern part of Ephyra under Locust control, the northern part under COG control (until 14 A.E.); many Gears and civilians were killed during the battle.
