In the course of four short years, Cole's forces are hammered, despite his excellent leadership and tactical brilliance. It is simply a matter of being outgunned; [[Covenant]] kill ratios tend to top three to one in ship-to-ship combat. By 2535, virtually all of the Outer Colony worlds have been destroyed by the [[Covenant]]. The [[Cole Protocol]] is established by military order: all [[human]] vessels must ensure that [[Covenant]] forces do not find [[Earth]]. Human ships must-when forced to withdraw-not move on to an Earth bound vector, even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. If blind jumps are not possible, the ship's [[captain]] must order self-destruction if capture is imminent. In addition, it is also imperative that the powerful ship [[A.I.]] data cores not fall into [[Covenant]] hands, so part of this protocol involves either the removal or destruction of the ship's [[A.I.]] in extreme situations. | In the course of four short years, Cole's forces are hammered, despite his excellent leadership and tactical brilliance.
