Over the next thirty-three years, Nizat and [[Defenders of the Sanctum|his forces]] waged an ongoing war against Petrov and her forces, unaware that the Covenant was eventually defeated. The exiled Covenant forces would discover leftover [[Precursor]]{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=17}} technology that allowed them to create armor that they called [[Sanctum's Hide]] and a weapon that they called the [[Divine Hand]]. However, Petrov and her forces were able to kill a number of Nizat's people over the years, leaving him with only six remaining followers, while the humans had children and their numbers only increased as time went on.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=7}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out9|Out|Chapter=9}} Nizat became more and more fanatical as time went on, but his followers, aside from Tam, started to become disillusioned by their harsh life.{{Ref/Reuse|Outcasts}} | Over the next thirty-three years, Nizat and [[Defenders of the Sanctum|his forces]] waged an ongoing war against Petrov and her forces, unaware that the Covenant was eventually defeated.

About a year after the battle, the UNSC sent a rescue mission to Netherop. A Prowler sneaked into orbit and established contact with Petrov. However, the orbital mine shell destroyed both Pelicans that were sent to Netherop's surface. Not prepared to clear a full mine shell and unwilling twenty lives to save eight, the captain called off the mission | About a year after the battle, the UNSC sent a rescue mission to Netherop. A Prowler sneaked into orbit and established contact with Petrov. However, the orbital mine shell destroyed both Pelicans that were sent to Netherop's surface. Not prepared to clear a full mine shell and unwilling to risk twenty lives to save eight, the captain called off the mission but he promised that a better-equipped mission would come back when it was feasible. True to the Prowler captain's word, the corvette {{UNSCShip|Alpina}} came years later and worked to punch through the mine shell. On the third day, the ''Alpina'' made contact with the UNSC survivors and promised that a Pelican would collect them before the next evening, having apparently found a way through the mine shell. However, Nizat was able to use the Divine Hand to destroy the ''Alpina'' and the third rescue mission that came after it.{{Ref/Reuse|Out9}} | ||

The mission would see the dismantling of the orbital mine shell, the rescue of the stranded UNSC survivors from the Battle of Netherop, and the elimination of Nizat and his surviving forces.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Outcasts|Out}} | ||
