The Kig-yar found a human population around a group of asteroids called "The Rubble", trailing the gas giant [[Hesiod]] in the [[23 Librae]] system. Originally, they pretended to be allies with the [[Insurrectionist]] and [[Asylum seeker|refugee]] citizens, and even made a trade agreement with the Insurrectionists that they would hand them Covenant weapons in exchange for [[slipspace drive]]s whilst waiting for the opportunity to capture navigational data that led to Earth. Lead by Reth, the Kig-yar bided their time and waited for the right moment to strike. | ||
The weapons the Insurrectionists were handed were modified and sent to other Insurrectionists across UNSC space. When Regret found some of the weapons on sale on [[High Charity]], not knowing that they were part of Truth's plan, he sent some of the Covenant's top soldiers to silence the "rebels". Meanwhile, the UNSC sent the stealth-equipped [[UNSC light frigate|light frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} to investigate the source of the Covenant weapons. Earlier, the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] had been sent to the Rubble to eliminate all traces of navigational data with Earth's coordinates. | The weapons the Insurrectionists were handed were modified and sent to other Insurrectionists across UNSC space.
