  • After the catastrophic failures as Unmoving Virtue and Pious Ascension, the Blood Covenant had learnt from its mistakes. While other colonies fell before the combined UNSC and Sangheili planet-hopping campaign, Expansive Judgement, the new Blood Covenant, was fortified by a massive fleet. Modelling themselves on the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity that protected High Charity, the Expansive Judgement Defence Fleet formed a virtually impenetrable barrier of ship patrols, preventing infiltration and presenting a formidible wall of firepower against any incoming enemy ships. Though UNSC and Sangheili warships possess a significant advantage over their Blood Covenant counterparts, the sheer numbers and scope of the defensive perimeter would overwhelm an attacking force.

  • After the catastrophic failures as Unmoving Virtue and Pious Ascension, the Blood Covenant had learnt from its mistakes. While other colonies fell before the combined UNSC and Sangheili planet-hopping campaign, Expansive Judgement, the new Blood Covenant, was fortified by a massive fleet. Modelling themselves on the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity that protected High Charity, the Expansive Judgement Defence Fleet formed a virtually impenetrable barrier of ship patrols, preventing infiltration and presenting a formidible wall of firepower against any incoming enemy ships. Though UNSC and Sangheili warships possess a significant advantage over their Blood Covenant counterparts, the sheer numbers and scope of the defensive perimeter would overwhelm an attacking force. The events of Operation: CORSAIR, however, would provide the basis of a UNSC offensive action intended to cripple this fleet. Discovering a Kig-yar privateer base near a Blood Covenant hydrogen/deuterium/tritium refinery station in orbit over Gargarensis, a gas giant further out in the system than Expansive Judgement shrouded a field of debris, the UNSC formulated an operation designed to insert an attacking battlegroup with a pinpoint slipspace jump in order to destroy the refinery station, as well as a number of Kig-yar privateer colony asteroids. The refinery provided crucial gases for the Blood Covenant, especially weapons-grade and fuel-grade plasma - without it, the fleet would soon literally grind to a halt, becoming ineffective, leaving the colony vulnerable.
