Frontier Raiding Offensive

The Frontier Raiding Offensive was a series of aggressive attacks by the Kru'desh Legion across the galactic frontier during late 2557 and early 2558. Under its newly appointed commander, the traitor Spartan Simon-G294, the Kru'desh Legion raided shipping convoys and colonies of all frontier groups deemed appropriate targets by . The attacks were unique among Covenant offensives in that they aimed to plunder—rather than annihilate—their targets. The Kru'desh acted more as a pirate fleet than a Covenant task force, seizing prisoners to be ransomed or sold and looting convoys for weapons and expensive goods.
