During one of the first Ages of Conversion, the [[Covenant]] discovered the gas giant of [[Te]], surrounded by the remains of a large [[Forerunner]] installation occupied by the native [[Lekgolo]]. After discovering that the Lekgolo had been devouring the installation, which resulted in the [[San'Shyuum]] declaring war on the species. The ensuring war led to the creation of an [[Arbiter]] to lead Covenant forces during the [[Taming of the Lekgolo]]. However, the Arbiter would come to discover that some Lekgolo had only devoured around the Forerunner materials and could be of great value if incorporated into the empire. The San'Shyuum eventually agreed and the Lekgolo were absorbed into the Covenant Empire in [[784 BCE]].<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 120'' (2011)</ref> | |||

Many were eager to partake in all the Covenant could offer, but violence was required to coerce many others into submission<ref name="E115"/> As these ages often saw war and aggressive politics, {{Class|ADP|escort}}s were deployed by the [[Covenant fleet]] to protect merchants and pilgrims traversing the expanding empire.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-looking-glassed '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Looking Glassed'']</ref> | ||
