Extermination of Karava

Centuries before 2560, the Covenant exterminated a sapient species located on Karava.

Background
The Covenant demanded the submission of a hostile unidentified species. This species would refuse.

Battle
The Covenant sent 300, eliminating the species entirely.

Aftermath
This action would make the N'weo-pattern Gigas come to prominence.

Following this extermination, the Sangheili and other Covenant client species settled the world, placing Karava firmly in Covenant control. It would remain so even after the Human-Covenant War ended.
