The '''Algolis Invasion''' was a short and bloody{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} [[battle|engagement]] that took place and fought between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]] in the [[Wikipedia:Algol|Algol system]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]] around early [[2549]].{{Ref/NoteReuse|date}} The battle on the surface of [[Algolis]] marked the formation of the [[Banished]], a violent ex-Covenant mercenery organization and [[Covenant remnants|splinter faction]] founded by the legendary [[Jiralhanae]] warrior [[Atriox]] and his second-in-command [[Decimus]] after rebelling against the Covenant, particularly [[Hierarchs]], which would rise dramatically to power after the [[Great Schism|fragmentation]] of the Covenant in late [[2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|hroa2}}

==Background==

With its own underpopulated [[civilian]] population largely removed from such efforts, the [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] [[planet|world]] of [[Algolis]] was the home to several prototype weapon projects including HRUNTING and [[Project YGGDRASIL|YGGDRASIL]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} These concurrent programs resulted in the creation of an armor system unmatched in the UNSC arsenal.{{Ref/Site|Id=waypoint|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/en-us#/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/algolis/c37d512a-eed7-44c0-bc3b-eb5b362b3160?filter=all|SiteName=Halo Waypoint|PageName=Algolis|D=10|M=03|Y=2011}}

When the [[Covenant]] discovered Algolis circa early [[2549]],{{Ref/NoteReuse|date}} the particular element of the planet was believed to be the purpose of the Covenant's specific interest in this particular human colony world.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} As a result, they would quickly send a small but effective Covenant invasion [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] to cruelly invade the colony.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=waypoint}} The aliens' main objective was the destruction of [[Weapons Research Facility T12A]], where the UNSC was developing highly advanced weaponry.

==Aftermath==

Little is known of the outcome of the battle. While the majority of Covenant ground forces were defeated, the humans suffered substantial losses and at least one city has been [[Glassing|glassed]] by a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} shortly before the Banished's formation,{{Ref/Reuse|ANE}} and the UNSC were presumably forced to abandon Algolis altogether. However, the Covenant never acquired the technical data behind the combat exoskeleton used in the battle and, even more importantly, the Covenant failed to acquire [[Earth]]'s location from the databanks on the ''Midlothian''.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}}

Despite the persisting Banished raids and attacks against both the Covenant and the UNSC, the Covenant was unable to contain Atriox at the height of its power and continued to concentrate most of their forces against the UNSC and the [[human]]ity with significant deployments, targeting any remaining [[human colonies]] with the [[Fall of Reach|largest and most disastrous UNSC defeat]] of the entire war at [[Reach]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]] at the hands of a massive combined Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice|armada]], and the eventual full discovery of Earth in [[2552#October|October 2552]] by the [[Prophet of Regret]] that ended the Cole Protocol and resulted a massive [[Battle for Earth|prolonged global battle]] raging with waves of Covenant fleets.{{Ref/Reuse|ANE}} Nonetheless, the Covenant forces on Earth (other than the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's fleet|focusing loyalists]] at the [[East African Protectorate|East Africa]]) and across the Covenant-controlled space were later left desperately organized when the [[Great Schism]] began with all Sangheili [[Covenant separatists|forced out]] from the Covenant now led by the Jiralhanae that remains loyal to the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] and fight each other; an error from the Covenant that served the UNSC to save Earth from the [[Glassing|fate]] of most other once-attacked human worlds despite cataclysmic casualties on the planet when final Jiralhanae-led reinforcements from Truth arrived, and definitively ending the alien hegemony during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] by the aid of Sangheili [[Fleet of Retribution]].{{Ref/Generic|Id=FTH|Heading=[[Halo Legendary Crate]]|Subheading=[[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #2]]|Detail=[[:File:LC 002 Doc 1.jpg|First Twelve Hours]]}}{{Ref/Game|Halo 2}}{{Ref/Game|Halo 3}} Unimpeded by the Covenant civil war, the Banished salvaged numerous Covenant former assets after its fall.{{Ref/Reuse|gamespot}}
