Prior to or during [[2555]], [[Edward Buck]] participated in reconnaissance and strike operations in one such zone as part of [[Operation: KINETIC STORM]].<ref name="H5GLtd">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition]]''', ''Spartan Locke's Classified Orders''</ref> Between [[2557#May|May 6]] and [[2557#June|June 1, 2557]], ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' participated in an operation with [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] elements against [[piracy|pirates]] in a Joint Occupation Zone.<ref name="Catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction - Page 14'']</ref> In early [[2558]], there was an increase of [[Jiralhanae]] raids on these territories due to the Jiralhanae's dwindling resources.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #1''</ref> Even between [[human]]s and [[Sangheili]], inter-species coexistence in the zones was not always seamless.
