The Covenant AI Seeker had infiltrated [[UNSC Apocalypso]] as a Trojan Horse. When the ship returned to Earth, Seeker informed the Covenant about its location. As a result, the Prophet of Truth managed to discover Earth's location. For him, this was an opportunity to crush his enemies—both the humans and the Sangheili—once and for all. Instead of informing the rest of the Covenant or his fellow Hierarchs of this discovery, he secretly assembled a fleet of over five hundred warships, to a command-and-control station called ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. All of these forces were commanded exclusively by the Jiralhanae, making it a simple matter to turn the fleet against the Sangheili once the humans had been crushed. This plan had more immediate advantages as well; leaving the Sangheili to scour Earth in search of the most sacred Forerunner artifact in existence, the [[Installation 00|Ark]] [[Portal at Voi|portal generator]], would have placed Truth's plan upon the shoulders of a species he had already decided to cast aside.<ref name="waypoint">'''[[Halo Waypoint]]''', ''"Ten Twenty" history entry''</ref> | |||
