Operation: Fallen Corivel

Operation: Fallen Corivel, (High Cipritine: Opus: Corivel Camus) was a classified Blackwatch operation conducted on the orders of Antraxes Mehrkuri. The mission objective was to track the movements of Desolas Arterius II and his family in exile, to ensure they could not rally turian support to have Desolas reinstated as primarch. The operation's code name, 'Fallen Corivel' references the sigil of House Arterius - a black corivel on a blue field - and the family's sudden fall from power after Antraxes' coup. 
In 2288 CE, Blackwatch agents lost track of Desolas. It was later discovered that he and his family had fled the Milky Way galaxy, on an ark bound for Andromeda. Antraxes used this information to stamp out pro-Arterius dissent by claiming that their saviour purposefully abandoned them, thus perpetually forfeiting his rights to the Aurelian Throne. This however backfired, as the those who had backed Desolas simply switched to backing Achaeus Corinthus instead, the man who had been Desolas' true heir before the coup.
