During the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2526]] a [[Sangheili]] [[First Blade]] named [[Tel 'Szatulai]] led the [[Bloodstars]], a select group of [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s that included [[Orsun]] and [[Castor]], to find and destroy the [[Spartan-II program|Demons]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} | During the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2526]] a [[Sangheili]] [[First Blade]] named [[Tel 'Szatulai]] led the [[Bloodstars]], a select group of [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s that included [[Orsun]] and [[Castor]], to find and destroy the [[Spartan-II program|Demons]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS18|HSS|Chapter=18}}<ref name="R">'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', ''page 265''</ref> However, before the Covenant realized the threat that the Spartans posed, 'Szatulai and his squad had been attached to then-[[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]'s [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]] to stealthily scout out the defenses of human [[Human colonies|colonies]] that they planned to destroy. They would also be searching these worlds for any hint that they had once been occupied by the [[Forerunner|gods]]. While scouting the world of [[Amasa]], a courier from the [[United Rebel Front]] delivered a communications device to 'Szatulai's squad. It contained a message from [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]], who wished to form a tentative alliance with the Covenant in exchange for information on the UNSC and their Spartans, which he claimed to be very dangerous. 'Szatulai took the message to 'Kvarosee aboard ''[[Pious Rampage]]'' as the fleet was in the [[Attack on Etalan|process]] of [[glassing]] [[Etalan]]. The fleetmaster, as well as the [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]], instructed him to meet with the [[Insurrectionist|insurgents]] on [[Seoba]] to see what more information they could provide, especially pertaining to these Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} | ||

The meeting with Garvin ended with 'Szatulai "agreeing" that the Covenant would help the insurgents take control of Biko in exchange for more information on the Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS18}} | ||
