'''2535''' was a turning point in the [[Human-Covenant War]]. With the destruction of [[Jericho VII]], most major [[Outer Colonies]] had been destroyed. In order to protect Earth and the remaining colonies, the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]] was established by military order. Human ships must, when forced to withdraw, not move on to a colony-bound vector, even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. If blind jumps are not possible, the ship's commanding officer must order a self-destruction sequence if capture is imminent. In addition, it is also imperative that the shipboard [[Artificial Intelligence|AI construct's]] data core not fall into Covenant hands; thus, part of this protocol involves either the removal or destruction of the ship's AI in extreme situations. Additionally, no captured Covenant ships or technology may be brought back to a human planet without being checked extensively for surveillance devices.
