{{ | ===Outer Colony Campaigns=== | ||
When the [[Human-Covenant War]] broke out, the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience was tasked with destroying the [[Outer Colonies]] led by [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]. Additionally, the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]] was assigned to the fleet as a ceremonial magistrate. The fleet's orders were to destroy [[human colonies]] as quickly as possible, survey their worlds, capture the ones containing [[Forerunner]] relics and glass the ones that did not. To aid in this mission, a unit of [[Silent Shadow]] led by [[Tel 'Szatulai]] was assigned to the fleet. The fleet succeeded in destroying multiple colonies, but lost the ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'' under mysterious circumstances as it was surveying [[Netherop]]. This loss occurred not long after the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' disappeared at [[Chi Ceti IV]].<ref name="SS">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> | |||
===Operation: SILENT STORM=== | |||
{{Main|Operation: SILENT STORM}} | |||
During the [[glassing]] of [[Etalan]] in [[2526#March|March 2526]], the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]] became impatient with the process and incited 'Kvarosee to expedite the process. However, they were interrupted by 'Szatulai with a message from General [[Harper Garvin]] of the [[United Rebel Front]] offering the Covenant information due to the Insurrectionists' desire to break free of the UNSC which they saw as a mutual enemy. As proof of his intentions, Garvin offered up information on what had happened to the ''Unrelenting'' and ''Radiant Arrow''. Garvin warned that the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] intended to destroy the fleet at [[Biko]] and proposed helping to eliminate the Spartans if the Covenant left their worlds alone. 'Kvarosee dispatched 'Szatulai to meet with Garvin and hunt down the Spartans while expediting the glassing of Etalan by having the fleet bombard the planet's shield volcano, triggering an eruption that filled the air with ash to suffocate its inhabitants. | |||
On [[2526#March|March 26]], the fleet [[Battle of Biko|attacked]] Biko. Based off of the Insurrectionists' warnings, 'Kvarosee held the fleet's fighter screen in close to prevent boarding parties from getting aboard the ships and destroying them from the inside, something that they had been warned would be [[Task Force Yama]]'s tactic. Though the fleet destroyed the protecting human force, five [[Covenant cruiser]]s were lost in the battle as well. At the same time, the Spartans [[Skirmish 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. | |||
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 Abundence]] 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.<ref name="SS" /> The Fleet of Inexorable Obedience was decimated by the surprise attack. One of the ships lost was the ''Almighty Persuassion'' which carried one of the Covenant's three [[Luminous Beacon]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Oblivion]]''', ''Chapter 5''</ref> | |||
