On [[2526#March|March 20]], the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience arrived at Biko.

'Szatulai realized that it must be Garvin and had the ''Sacred Whisper'' dock with the {{Class|Banta|colony ship}}. Their negotiations resulted in the First Blade "promising" to give the Insurrectionists control of Biko following the battle in exchange for more information on the Spartans.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS18|HSS|Chapter=18}} Though 'Kvarosee's fleet destroyed the protecting human force, five [[Covenant cruiser]]s were lost in the battle as well. At the same time, the Spartans [[Battle over Etalan|attacked]] the fleet's logistics train at Etalan, destroying several important vessels, particularly the ships that would refuel the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience's plasma reserves. As a result, the fleet's advance was brought to a halt and 'Kvarosee was forced to call for a new supply convoy from [[Zhoist]]. After 'Szatulai revealed that the humans had retrieved a ''[[kelguid]]'' from one of his downed corvettes, 'Kvarosee realized that the humans would likely next target Zhoist and ordered the fleet there against the objections of the Minor Minister who wanted to head to High Charity which he believed was in danger.{{Citation needed}} | ||

{{Main|Attack on Zhoist}} | |||
On [[2526#April|April 15]], [[Task Force Yama]] launched [[Attack on Zhoist|an attack]] on Zhoist which was defended by the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience alongside the planet's own defenses. With the fleet's positioning making it impossible to board the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] from space, the Spartans and [[21st Space Assault Battalion|Black Daggers]] dropped onto Zhoist to use the gravity elevators to reach the Ring. Upon realizing what they were up to, 'Szatulai led his forces to engage them while the fleet engaged the Prowlers as they dropped off the assault force. However, the Spartans succeeded in reaching the Ring, destroying two of the [[Ten Cities of Edification]] in the process. | |||

After the destruction of the Ring of Mighty Abundance, 'Kvarosee had the fleet pulled back further and learned that 'Szatulai and his forces, aside from [[Castor]] and [[Orsun]], had been killed by the Spartans on the Ring. The fleet was able to capture eight of the Black Daggers who only laughed when interrogated by the Shipmasters. During this time, the Minor Minister's behavior caused [[Tam 'Lakosee]] to kill him which 'Kvarosee decided to cover up. The captured Black Daggers hidden [[octanitrocubane|octas]] eventually detonated aboard six of the ships, visible from the surviving hidden Prowlers of Task Force Yama to their amazement.{{Citation needed}} The Fleet of Inexorable Obedience was decimated by the surprise attack. One of the ships lost was the ''[[Almighty Persuasion]]'' which carried one of the Covenant's three [[Luminal Beacon]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Chapter 5|HOblv|Chapter=5}} | After the destruction of the Ring of Mighty Abundance, 'Kvarosee had the fleet pulled back further and learned that 'Szatulai and his forces, aside from [[Castor]] and [[Orsun]], had been killed by the Spartans on the Ring.
