Chapter 5
Around this time, however, a Nargoian flanking route had been established, it passed directly through the Sol System (Humanity).
Unbeknownst to them, the Covenant had also established a flanking route through the milky way, and also through Sol.
They discovered what they thought to be Nargoians on one of the planets, Sol III.
In fact, nothing was left on it but destruction after a very short nuclear war.
It was an apocalyptic landscape, with survivors strewn about, here and there.
Well, the logical thing to do was if course to immediately start murdering what was left of the population left and right.
(So starts Dawn of Death Season 2.)
Then, arrived battle-group Alpha if the fifth Armada, engaging the covenant fleet immediately after their initial surprise wore off.
The conflict around Earth (Sol III) was relatively short, ending when Battle-group Beta followed with an Ultra-Carrier.
A parasite long thought dead was suddenly liberated from somewhere and a flood outbreak ensued, whilst for some reason, the Covenant glassed part of the planet.
A small group of surveyors managed to evacuate before the planet was destroyed with a Crust Piercing round fired from an Ultra Carrier according to ONI (Office of Nargoian Intelligence) protocol 54a voted in by the UNG senate just two years prior.
Warning:The following is highly classified.
5 systems suffered flood outbreaks due to xenoarcheological digs within a short span.
They were all quarantine and blockaded, until the ultimate resolution of allowing the destruction of the plants was secretly allowed.
None of these events were allowed to transpire to the public.
End.
After the events of Earth, the final push into the Covenant's final territories was launched: Operation Invasion.
The full might of the Nargoian military might was thrust into planet after planet, catching the Covenant off-guard with how many troops and ships were deployed at each battle.
However, the Covenant capital planet was where the attack started to stagnate.
The average marine life span was just a few hours long, and wave after wave of troops crashed into the mudfields before the capital city, unsupported by vehicles that got bogged down.
Finally, spartan heavy firepower was authorised and a breakthrough happened.
Once the capital fell, most of the proud elites surrendered, whilst slave rebellions happened here and there, and the last covenant remnants are wiped out.
Yet, the Covenant had allied themselves with a notorious enemy if the Nargoians, one that some Elites considered far too brutal even as allies, causing them to desert and offer their services to the Nargoians their brothers fought.
The Banished were back...
