During the [[glassing]] of [[Etalan]] in [[2526#March|March 2526]], the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]] became impatient with the process and incited 'Kvarosee to expedite the process. However, they were interrupted by 'Szatulai with a message from General [[Harper Garvin]] of the [[United Rebel Front]] offering the Covenant information due to the Insurrectionists' desire to break free of the UNSC which they saw as a mutual enemy. As proof of his intentions, Garvin offered up information on what had happened to the ''Unrelenting'' and ''Radiant Arrow''. Garvin warned that the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] intended to destroy the fleet at [[Biko]] and proposed helping to eliminate the Spartans if the Covenant left their worlds alone. 'Kvarosee dispatched 'Szatulai to meet with Garvin and hunt down the Spartans while expediting the glassing of Etalan by having the fleet bombard the planet's shield volcano, triggering an eruption that filled the air with ash to suffocate its inhabitants. | During the [[glassing]] [[Attack on Etalan|of]] [[Etalan]] in [[2526#March|March 2526]], the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]] became impatient with the process and incited 'Kvarosee to expedite the process.

On [[2526#March|March 26]], the fleet [[Battle of Biko|attacked]] Biko. Based off of the Insurrectionists' warnings, 'Kvarosee held the fleet's fighter screen in close to prevent boarding parties from getting aboard the ships and destroying them from the inside, something that they had been warned would be [[Task Force Yama]]'s tactic. Though the fleet destroyed the protecting human force, five [[Covenant cruiser]]s were lost in the battle as well. At the same time, the Spartans [[Skirmish over Etalan|attacked]] the fleet's logistics train at Etalan, destroying several important vessels, particularly the ships that would refuel the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience's plasma reserves. As a result, the fleet's advance was brought to a halt and 'Kvarosee was forced to call for a new supply convoy from [[Zhoist]]. After 'Szatulai revealed that the humans had retrieved a ''[[kelguid]]'' from one of his downed corvettes, 'Kvarosee realized that the humans would likely next target Zhoist and ordered the fleet there against the objections of the Minor Minister who wanted to head to High Charity which he believed was in danger. | On [[2526#March|March 26]], the fleet [[Battle of Biko|attacked]] Biko.
