After [[First Battle of Harvest|first contact]] with the [[Covenant Empire]] in [[2525]], the Assembly held a tribunal for one of its members who had apparently tried to contact the rising alien threat, making it indirectly responsible for the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In the same year, they discussed the SPARTAN-II program and how it managed to reach operational capacity a year before the [[Insurrection]] expanded beyond control. | After [[First Battle of Harvest|first contact]] with the [[Covenant Empire]] in [[2525]], the Assembly held a tribunal for one of its members who had apparently tried to contact the rising alien threat, making it indirectly responsible for the [[Human-Covenant War]]. In the same year, they discussed the SPARTAN-II program and how it managed to reach operational capacity a year before the [[Insurrection]] expanded beyond control. Predictably, the Assembly rejected the idea of 'luck' being a key factor. | ||
After the Covenant assault on [[Biko]] in [[2526]], the Assembly analyzed the Covenant's [[orbital bombardment]] capabilities. While they concluded that they were not able to "glass" an entire planet, they coined the term "[[glassing]]" in an attempt to heighten the severity of their fleet's abilities. They also decided on the redistribution of human forces, namely the Spartans and the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps']] [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. Later, they discussed the possibility of a Covenant counterpart to the Assembly, and the possibility of contacting it and turning it on their side. In [[2528]], the Minority made a decision to sacrifice remote, low-population colonies in order to determine the Covenant's pattern of operation and design effective countermeasures. In 2530, the Assembly discussed the losses in the war so far, as well as the possibility of re-[[terraforming]] glassed worlds. To prevent human extinction, they also decided that they must be more open with their actions. | After the Covenant assault on [[Biko]] in [[2526]], the Assembly analyzed the Covenant's [[orbital bombardment]] capabilities.

Upon the [[Battle of Shield 0459|discovery of Shield 0459]] in [[2531|February 2531]], the Assembly noted of presence of a "third participant," the [[Flood]], mentioned in the Covenant's [[Covenant battle network|battle network]], one which caused "irrational terror" for the Covenant, but due to the risks involved, decided not to contact it. | Upon the [[Battle of Shield 0459|discovery of Shield 0459]] in [[2531|February 2531]], the Assembly noted of presence of a "third participant," the [[Flood]], mentioned in the Covenant's [[Covenant battle network|battle network]], one which caused "irrational terror" for the Covenant, but due to the risks involved, decided not to contact it. | ||
