Le'rukah Kela

== Background ==
Classified by ONI as a high priority terror group the Le'rukah Kela or the Horde as those who have entountered their ferocity have taken to nicknaming them are a medium sized remnant force within the Joint Occupation Zone. The Le'rukah specialize in pirate tactics on a large scale using ambush tactics and have even invaded meekly defended JOZ worlds. Troubling for ONI and interested parties is the Le'Rukah's sense of stealth with little intelligence being gathered on the force in the last year beyond ruins and debris fields. 
By 2558, the UNSC Deliverance which was patrolling the JOZ was able to intercept and track Le'rukah Kela ship movements and began a month long operation to gather intelligence on the force to scale its propensity to damage the inner worlds. 
=== Jaeteran-Le'rukah Kela War ===
In November 2557 the Le'rukah Kela attempted a siege of Jaeter and were nearly successful in their efforts to decimate the planets major urban areas. The JDF and OPA were able to successfully fend off the invasion force at high costs. Jaeteran and OPA forces were prompted to formally declare the Le'rukah Kela an enemy of the state and initiate a war against them. While outbound hunting parties were largely unsuccessful in tracking the enemy, intelligence gathered from survivors of the attack on Jaeter offered valuable insight into Le'rukah controlled systems. 
Particularly in May of 2558 the Jaeteran forces were able to intercept a Le'rukah Kela cruiser formation and follow its slip-space wake to a Le'rukah controlled station, a refit covenant refueling station being used as a mobile capitol and command center. Simultaneously the UNSC Deliverance was in system gathering intelligence on the threat when the Jaeter forces arrived and the two forces allied together to take the station and deliver a decisive blow to the Le'rukah's territory claim.
