Battlegroup November

== Background ==
Dispatched to participate in the reclamation of former UNSC space lost during the war. Battlegroup November was assigned to combat outer region insurrectionist movements, pirate activity, and remnant covenant factions. Its long range mission which left it out of contact and without support from UNSC forces forced Battlegroup November to operate largely autonomously and thus sported a mostly self sustained contingent of naval forces. Its lead ship was the UNSC Tide of the North, an Autumn class heavy cruiser commanded by Captian Edward F. Zabinski.
=== Operations ===
==== Operation Incumbent (2557: 6 month operation beyond Human Space) ====
For a six month period the Eligius IV took command of November for an O.N.I. operation beyond Human Space. While all of November was requisitioned for the operation it is unknown if all vessels participated directly in the operation. What little of the operation that was made public does indicate armed conflict against former members of the Covenant hegemony in uncharted space and the successful retention of forerunner technologies. Rumours however go as deep to suggest it involved the Eligius IV utilizing its energy projector to put down a potentially violent insurrection uprising whilst blaming it on Covenant remnants. Interestingly enough a Human colony that had gone silent one week prior to the operations commencement was reportedly glassed during the operations six month active timeframe. Notably the UEG and UNSC did use the glassing of Omayyad as an example of how important unity was and showcased what happened to rebellious colonies. 
==== Operation Takeback (2552-2557) ====
Initial operation following the end of the Human Covenant war. Battlegroup November was sent into the outer colonies and former UEG space to police, retake, and dissuade insurrectionists, pirates, and covenant remnants alike from laying claims to systems within Human Space. A large portion of Operation Takeback included the occupation and later defense of Jaeter which saw the nearly 80% loss of the original vessels of the group. Following heavy losses defending Jaeter, the remaining fleet was withdrawn when Jaeter was classified within the Joint Occupation Accords save for the UNSC Call to Valor which remained in system to offer support and intelligence. 
==== Operation Rampart (2558-Present) ====
With the Created uprising and subsequent scattering of UNSC forces, Battlegroup November was forced to assume independent operations. Only upon receiving emergency transmissions and buoys left by the Infinity was it given a semblance of direction. Operation Rampart included avoiding Created detection and rallying survivors and identifying allies.
