 ===Crisis ([[2534]]-[[2535]])===
-With most of the Outer Colonies glassed or abandoned, the UNSC faced an economic crisis as most of their [[Agriculture World]]s had been destroyed, leading to food shortages. On [[Charybdis IX]], food riots broke out. Meanwhile, Covenant forces began to encroach on the [[Inner Colonies]]. In response, the UNSC issued [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1]], "The Cole Protocol". It stated that no UNSC vessel may lead the Covenant to Earth or any other human population center. Furthermore, all movement through space was restricted to [[UNSC Navy]] vessels. [[Insurrectionist]] attacks increased in the face of what they saw as a removal of their right to freedom of movement. Another development was the discovery of Insurrectionists using Covenant weapons modified for human use. The UNSC saw this as a threat to security as the weapons may have been carrying Covenant homing beacons. The Covenant saw it as heresy that humans would modify their weapons, and the [[Prophet of Regret]] dispatched [[Thel 'Vadam|Thel 'Vadamee]] to destroy the source of the modified weapons: [[The Rubble]].
+With 1/6 of the Outer Colonies glassed or abandoned, the UNSC faced an economic crisis as some of their [[Agriculture World]]s had been destroyed, leading to food shortages.

 Fleeing from the [[Battle of Charybdis IX]], the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} chased an Insurrectionist freighter to the Rubble and discovered that the Insurrectionists there had actually formed an alliance with a colony of [[Kig-Yar]]. The Jackals were supplying the weapons and the Insurrectionists were modifying them. The crew of the ''Midsummer Night'', including its captain, [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Jacob Keyes]], were captured, but later escaped and helped SPARTAN-II [[Gray Team]] and the Rubble's citizens stop an assault from the Kig-Yar leader, [[Reth]], and 'Vadamee's forces. It later transpired that the [[Prophet of Truth]] had ordered the Kig-Yar to ally with the humans so that they could discover the location of [[Earth]] from stolen navigation data of through tracking devices in the weapons. Through this, the Covenant found two more worlds to attack.
