Before the [[First Battle of Requiem]], cult leader [[Merg Vol]] led a fleet to the UNSC-controlled word of [[Draetheus V]] in order to gain control of the powerful Forerunner device [[X50]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKjakadAOic '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Spartan Assault - Debut Gameplay Reveal'']</ref> The battle saw significant losses on both sides and the planet Draetheus V itself nearly destroyed by Merg Vol's use of X50, which was in fact a Forerunner superweapon with the capability to destroy planets.

Merg Vol's Covenant utilized much of the same equipment that the original Covenant used. Most ground troops utilized the [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] and [[Type-51 plasma repeater]]. Higher ranking members of the group used the [[Type-33 Needler]] and [[Type-52 focus rifle]]. [[Type-32 Ghost]]s and [[Type-26 Wraith]]s made up the majority of the faction's ground vehicles with [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Wraith]]s serving as anti-aircraft artillery. The faction also made use of the [[Type-38 Tyrant]] and [[Mega turret]]. Like the original Covenant the [[Type-26 Banshee]] remained as the man aircraft of the faction. Both [[Type-25 Spirit]]s and [[Type-52 Phantom]]s were used as troop transports with at least one [[Phantom gunboat]] being used as the personal transport of Parg Vol. The faction's fleet was composed of at least four {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}s and five {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}s. | |||
