Despite shield worlds being created as a haven from the Halos and the Flood, the external surface was heavily infested with Flood biomass, with forms of various types freely roaming across the surface. [[Sentinel]]s were a rarity on the outside, but this changed within the center, where the many Forerunner constructs worked to prevent the Flood from claiming the interior as well.{{Ref/Level|Id=Beachhead|HW|Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Reactor|HW|Reactor (Halo Wars level)|Reactor}}{{Ref/Level|Id=Escape|HW|Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape}}

Trove was discovered by the [[Covenant]] sometime prior to [[2531]]. February that year during the [[Human-Covenant War]] saw its destruction by the [[United Nations Space Command]] at the end of a [[Battle of Trove|battle]].{{Ref/Reuse|Escape}} A debris field persisted for [[2557|26 years]], at which point a UNSC fleet cleared it on June 29 following its discovery in order to keep it out of the hands of [[Gek 'Lhar]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]], and anyone else who would try to exploit the surviving technologies for their own benefit.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HRC24|Ren|Chapter=24}}

Trove was discovered by the Covenant several years before 2531, but then-current Covenant technology could not unlock its secrets. At the outset of the war with [[human]]ity, the Covenant expedited the need to unlock the planet's secrets as to amass a great fleet. They were soon able to break into the interior of the shield world and seal it, though the external Flood infection were noted as persistent. The [[Prophet of Regret]] sent [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] to the planet [[Harvest]] to investigate a [[Relic (location)|Forerunner relic]] there that could have held the key.{{Ref/Anthology|Id=OSG|Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide|The Day Before}}

With the Human-Covenant War ongoing, the Covenant hoped to use the shield world's stored warships to crush the UNSC quickly, rather than wage the protracted war. However, they soon discovered that while they were able to access the installation, they were unable to reactivate the fleet.<ref>''[[Halo Waypoint]]'', [http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Games/detail/a/9ca82aa8-c0bd-4014-8bd6-7bcf3e131e0b ''"The Halo Wars Story Retold"'']</ref>

After the Covenant had observed [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] activating the [[Relic (location)|Forerunner relic]] on [[Harvest]], the Prophet of Regret ordered the Arbiter to go to Arcadia and capture her, as she seemed to have valuable knowledge about the Forerunners. The Arbiter returned to Arcadia on February 10, captured Anders and brought her to the shield world. [[James Cutter|Captain James Cutter]], commanding officer of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, to which Anders had been assigned, ordered immediate pursuit out-system.{{Ref/Level|HW|Scarab (level)|Scarab}}
