The Skirmishes in the Aleutsk valley were a series of skirmishes between the Normandy squad and geth heretic troops entrenched along the Aleutsk valley between Port Hanshan and Peak 15. These troops were deployed by Benezia M'Soni to delay Alliance reinforcements, but this proved fruitless when Commander Shepard and his squad turned up. They smashed the geth defenses with little effort (now with thorough experience fighting geth thanks to the Armstrong cluster campaign), and within minutes had arrived at Peak 15.
