Over the next thirty-three years, Nizat and [[Nizat 'Kvarosee's faction|his forces]] waged an ongoing war against Petrov and her forces, unaware that the Covenant was eventually defeated. The exiled Covenant forces would discover leftover [[Precursor]]{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=17}} technology that allowed them to create armor that they called [[Sanctum's Hide]] and a weapon that they called the [[Divine Hand]]. However, Petrov and her forces were able to kill a number of Nizat's people over the years, leaving him with only six remaining followers, while the humans had children and their numbers only increased as time went on.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=7}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out9|Out|Chapter=9}} Nizat became more and more fanatical as time went on, but his followers, aside from Tam, started to become disillusioned by their harsh life.{{Ref/Reuse|Outcasts}} | |||
About a year after the battle, the UNSC sent a rescue mission to Netherop. A Prowler sneaked into orbit and established contact with Petrov. However, the [[orbital mine shell]] destroyed both Pelicans that were sent to Netherop's surface. Not prepared to clear a full mine shell and unwilling twenty lives to save eight, the captain called off the mission, but he promised that a better-equipped mission would come back when it was feasible. True to the Prowler captain's word, the corvette {{UNSCShip|Alpina}} came years later and worked to punch through the mine shell. On the third day, the ''Alpina'' made contact with the UNSC survivors and promised that a Pelican would collect them before the next evening, having apparently found a way through the mine shell. However, Nizat was able to use the Divine Hand to destroy the ''Alpina'' and the third rescue mission that came after it.{{Ref/Reuse|Out9}} | |||
