Template:Ratings In the course of four short years, Cole's forces are hammered, despite his excellent leadership and tactical brilliance. It is simply a matter of being out-gunned, as Covenant kill ratios tend to top three to one in ship-to-ship combat.

The Cole Protocol is established by military order: all human vessels must ensure that Covenant forces do not find Earth.
