==History==
===Contact at Jakaeu===
Humanity was at Jakaeu in 2550. In early 2552 they finally got max population, and began to have a slight problem with over population which would start to make the economy and jobs become less abundant due to more people needing to pay for their children. In late 2552, Khas 'Vadum's Covenant was formed and focused on controlling planets near them. In the last month of 2552, the Remnant arrived at the planet when they were intercepted by UNSC forces in orbit of the planet. Admiral Nick Lasky was in charge of the Defense fleet, beginning a defensive formation over the planet. The fleet was made up of 8 Marathon-class heavy cruisers and 15 Stalwart-class frigates. 
 The defense fleet began to engage the remnant fleet, but ended up not even taking out a single ship. In attempts to deal a bit of damage, Lasky ordered the fleet to focus fire on the Dark Silence. The Dark Silence in return returned fire on the flagship Nick was on. The ship got was crippled by the overwhelming firepower, and was destroyed, killing Nick. Jack O'Malley was given command of the fleet and ordered a MAC barrage on the thinnest part of the covenants carrier, neck of the ship. 76 missiles fired and 8 MAC rounds were fired almost at the same time. They hit the neck of the ship and pierced the shields, causing a huge flash and a distant boom. The carriers neck was torn, disabling the control center and killing the shipmaster. The Remnant fleet retreated from the system and the battle was over.
Despite wining the battle, Jack knew that the Remnant would be back. About 1 month later, Khas 'Vadum let a attack force so big, it could wipe out a civilization in a matter on hours. 11 CAS-class assault carriers, and 38 CCS-class battlecruisers exited slipspace near Jakaeu. Khas 'Vadum had a newfound hatred for the humans, and ordered a full scale bombardment of the planet and wiped out the defense fleet. Jakaeu was nothing but a molten wasteland.
===Duland skirmish===
With Jakaeu lost the UNSC had to find a planet to rest at until they could find a planet to be stationed at. But it seemed where ever the UNSC was, the Covenant was not far behind. The Covenant fleet Fleet of Obsolete Vengeance exited slipspace right before Duland. The Covenant flagship, Solemn Trail led the battle. The UNSC was unaware that they where under attack until the last second. A distant pop sound was heard and Jack O'Malley looked around to see a armada of covenant ships. At first he ordered a protective wave and sent out a distress signal and prepared to fight them off. A hour of non-stop combat ensued, claiming 3 UNSC ships, and forcing the UNSC to retreat once more, and the Covenant fleet followed, hunting them down.
===Battle of Installation 03===
With one supercarrier gone, and the last one Khas knew about on its way, Khas 'Vadum ordered all of his ships to gather near the Gamma Halo (Installation 03). With 7 CAS-class assault carriers, and about 28 CCS-class battlecruisers, and CRS-class frigate, as well with one of the last CSO-class supercarrier the Covenant was ready. When the covenant exited slipspace above the Halo ring, they where surprised to see what they saw. The UNSC was engaged with a flood covenant carrier. The UNSC immediately diverted half of their forces and engaged Khas 'Vadum's fleet. Khas 'Vadum ordered all of the capital ships to go to the rings surface except 2 carriers which would engage the UNSC fleet. However there was more flood on the ring than in the sky. The UNSC sent ODST's aswell as Luke O'Malley to the surface to make sure that Khas 'Vadum did not attempt to fire the halo ring. Once the ODST's where deployed, they immediately got resistance from legions of covenant and flood troops. Luke ordered all ODST's to focus fire at the flood. The flood overwhelmed the ODST's, and forced them to retreat. As they found a nearby forerunner structure, they took up positions for a final stand. Khas looked through his new flagship at a hologram, thinking of why they were fighting the UNSC? Because they had killed many of his brothers because of the prophets? He opened up a communication channel and hailed the UNSC commander, proposing a moment of truce while they fought off the flood. With reluctance, he agreed, and ordered his forces to help Luke. More troops landed from the covenant and fought off the flood until they retreated to regroup. Khas ordered all of his ships not to engage the UNSC fleet aswell, and focused on the flood controlled carrier. About three hours later, the flood main force tried to make a final push, but it was futile as the UNSC forces were completely deployed and made a defensive wall. However one of Khas 'Vadums high command, Duta 'Vaham had other ideas, seeing Khas' incompetence, he thought that the ring should be fired and the Great Journey finished. He took a force to find the Index, and activate the Halo ring. found the index and was going to activate it, but he needed a human. When Khas, and Luke found Duta they told him the truth of the halo rings. One ODST trooper tried to finish off the sangheili, but failed. Duta's squad him out and started to engage Luke and Khas's forces. During the firing and hand to hand combat, Duta fought Luke one on one, and overpowered him, grabbing Luke and forced him to the room to activate the ring. As the UNSC and Remnant overwhelmed the small squad, Luke was forced to insert the index. Duta attempted to kill Luke, but Khas shoved his energy sword deep into his back, resulting in the loss of his life. Luke quickly swiped index before the ring was fired.
