The Keepers also have at least one operational starship, the ''[[One Light]]'' and at one point, the [[Fleet of Glory]] which suffered heavy casualties during [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]]. Their manpower consists of hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers of [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[human]] species. Their allies on [[Gao]] and [[Venezia]] have ensured a steady stream of supplies and weapons to the faction, allowing them to conduct anti-[[UNSC]] operations in a large capacity. They are also known to use [[Jiralhanae power armor]], painted blue and gold, for the colors of the Keepers. | ||
However, by [[2559#October|October 2559]], the Keepers' ranks had been decimated due to a massive eradication campaign by ONI. Castor's forces that hijacked [[Atriox]]'s [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich|Lich]] were all that was left of his detachment of Keepers, roughly forty in number.{{Ref/Reuse|DW1}} Despite this, numerous Keeper footholds remain across various planets and Forerunner installations, with the largest established presence still based on Venezia.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P247}} | |||
