By October of [[2552]], the Covenant had haphazardly discovered the position of the human home world, Earth, and sent a preliminary task force there, believing it to be the location of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], an ancient Forerunner relic. They encountered staunch resistance, and were initially fended off. Further complications arose from the political and religious crisis that emerged in the wake of a UNSC operation to assassinate the [[Prophet of Regret]], and the secession of the [[Sangheili]] from the hegemony, leading to the [[Great Schism|Covenant Civil War]], further throwing the Covenant into chaos. Nevertheless, by November, what was left of the [[Covenant Loyalists]] had subjugated large parts of Africa, devastating much of the planet. Only their retreat through a Forerunner [[The Artifact|portal]] in [[Africa]], and the arrival of the [[Sangheili Fleet]], stopped the utter destruction of the UNSC and Earth itself. | By October of [[2552]], the Covenant had haphazardly discovered the position of the human home world, Earth, and sent a preliminary task force there, believing it to be the location of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], an ancient Forerunner relic.
