The Battle of Boundary was a large scale engagement fought between the United Nations Space Command, the Swords of Sanghelios and the Banished, later joined by Sali 'Nyon's Covenant, over the human colony of Boundary. The factions sought to seize control of the Lithos, a gateway that would allow whomever controlled it access to and control over the Domain.

Initally a battle between the joint UNSC-Swords of Sanghelios task force and the Banished, it was complicated by the arrival of Sali 'Nyon and his forces who San'Shyuum High Lord Dovo Nesto had secretly formed an alliance with. This betrayal led War Chief Severan to turn the Banished against the Order of Restoration, sparking a three-way battle that culminated in the destruction of the Lithos by the UNSC. Having suffered significant causalities, the Banished and the Covenant retreated. However, the death of 'Nyon in a duel with the vengeful Severan allowed Nesto to take control of 'Nyon's Covenant remnant to continue pursuing the Order's goal of resurrecting the Covenant empire.
