A rogue faction of [[Covenant]] soldiers led by [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] who, in [[2526]], sought to destroy [[ONI]] following [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], seeing it as the biggest threat to the Covenant. While they succeeded in getting one of the [[Luminal Beacon]]s into ONI's custody during the [[Battle of Netherop]], the Covenant retaliated for Nizat's rogue actions, destroying most of the [[Flotilla of Unyielding Piety]] and forcing the survivors to retreat. Nizat and his ground forces were then exiled on [[Netherop]]'s surface with a mine shell being placed in orbit of the planet to prevent anyone from coming back for him. In addition, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amalea Petrov]] and some of her forces were left stranded on Netherop as well.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv}} Over the next thirty-three years, the UNSC and Covenant survivors fought each other, resulting in the death of most of Nizat's forces, leaving only Nizat himself and six others while the humans numbers continued to grow as the stranded survivors had children and families.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=7}}{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=9}} | A rogue faction of [[Covenant]] soldiers led by [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] who, in [[2526]], sought to destroy [[ONI]] following [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], seeing it as the biggest threat to the Covenant.
