The Battle of Rayingri was an attack by the squad of the SSV Normandy on a geth heretic base located on Rayingri that occurred during the Armstrong cluster campaign. Due to the growing threat of Saren's Alliance, and the ever increasing incursion of geth heretic forces present in the Armstrong cluster which was likely a precursor to invasion, the Battle of Rayingri was the fourth of five engagements to expel Saren's troops from the cluster. The fourth of these engagements and the largest, Marcus L. Shepard and his men managed to neutralize the geth on Rayingri and destroyed their base. This marked the last time the geth would be able to mobilize a significant counter-offensive in the cluster, and also the discovery of a hidden geth base of operations within the Grissom system.
