Before the battle, a group of [[Kig-Yar]] led by [[Reth]] began to trade modified weapons with [[Insurrectionist|human insurgents]] at [[the Rubble]]. Unknown to the Insurrectionists, the Kig-Yar were following orders from the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 222''</ref> The Kig-Yar had placed hidden trackers on the weapons and the insurgents were then bringing the weapons to other [[human colonies]]. The Covenant had discovered Charybdis IX after following tracking information on the modified weapons.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 93''</ref> | |||

Following the battle, the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] dispatched Thel 'Vadamee to [[23 Librae]] to find and eliminate the source of Covenant weaponry modified for human use. This led to the [[Battle of the Rubble]] in which the ''Midsummer Night'' and the rebels were able to defeat 'Vadamee and destroy the [[Kig-Yar]] and Unggoy forces, scoring a major human victory.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 289''</ref> | |||
