The Assault On The Bastogne Line was the final battle of The Victoria Rebellion. It began when UNSC forces assaulted the Bastogne Line, a system of trenches and underground command posts that served as the rebels' final holdout before they would be forced to leave the planet in some way. The rebels held their ground for almost twenty four hours, until one UNSC Marine Corps platoon made it past their defenses, and into the trenches. This gap was never sealed, and it grew larger and larger, until the rebels were overrun by the UNSC.
