Simply put, the events of 2535 were a matter of being out-gunned, as [[Covenant]] kill ratios tend to top three to one in ship-to-ship combat. By '''2535''', virtually all of the [[Outer Colony]] worlds have been destroyed by the Covenant. The [[Cole Protocol]] is established by military order: all [[human]] vessels must ensure that Covenant forces do not find [[Earth]]. Human ships must, when forced to withdraw, not move on to an Earth-bound vector, even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. If blind jumps are not possible, the ship's [[Captain]] must order a self-destruction sequence if capture is imminent. In addition, it is also imperative that the powerful ship [[A.I.]] data cores not fall into Covenant hands, so part of this protocol involves either the removal or destruction of the ship's A.I. in extreme situations. | Simply put, the events of 2535 were a matter of being out-gunned, as [[Covenant]] kill ratios tend to top three to one in ship-to-ship combat.
