For several years prior to 1342, a war between the Kig-Yar species and the Covenant took place in the Y'Deio system.

War
One of the causes of the war was the Covenant sought access to a Forerunner facility buried in one of the Kig-Yar habitats.

The Covenant first arrived in the Y'Deio system with small contingent fleets. These fleets were attacked by Kig-Yar pirates and mercenaries beginning a naval campaign. These pirate fleets were the only defense the Kig-Yar had against the Covenant, though this fleet paled in comparison to the Covenant's.

The Covenant would score numerous naval victories and demonstrated their naval superiority. However, Kig-Yar forces hid among the various asteroids in their system forcing the Covenant to ferret them out. The Covenant would also attack various asteroid redoubts, decimating many from the bloodline of Chur'R-Yar in their defense. Fighting would take place elsewhere in the system over Forerunner artifacts.

The militias of various sectarian societies in the asteroid belt of Chu'ot joined with pirate groups to help fight off the Covenant. By the end of the war, a unified front of raiders and mercenaries reached an agreement with the Covenant.
