The ''Minor Transgression'' was cruising through space when the [[human]] freighter ''[[Horn of Plenty]]'' dropped out of [[Slipspace]] | The ''Minor Transgression'' was cruising through space when the [[human]] unmanned-freighter ''[[Horn of Plenty]]'' dropped out of [[Slipspace]] due to a malfunctioned ship-drive nearby. When the freighter detected ''Minor Transgression'', ''Horn of Plenty's'' onboard computers hailed it, hoping it was a [[UNSC]] vessel. Shortly afterward, Chur'R-Yar decided to attack it, using point lasers to destroy external sensors and communication devices. She then used her vessel's umbilical (a machine that burned through a ship's hull and allowed passage between the two vessels) to board ''Horn of Plenty'' and disconnect the main computer from the ships power grid. While the Kig-Yar raided the freighter's supply of fruits, Dadab retrieved the computer for Lighter Than Some, who was able to recover the freighter's point of origin: [[Harvest]], a human agricultural colony. | ||
When ''Minor Transgression'' arrived in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system, the ship's [[Luminary]] showed thousands of Forerunner relics on Harvest. This was an unprecedented find, and one the Kig-Yar were eager to exploit. They disconnected the Luminary from the ship's communication relay to prevent it from transmitting a true account of how many relics the planet had on it so that they could take some for themselves and sell them for profit. They attacked another freighter that showed a relic onboard: ''[[This End Up]]'', captained by [[Henry Gibson]]. The Kig-Yar again boarded the vessel via the umbilical, and Henry was killed in the ensuing fight by Lighter Than Some. The Kig-Yar eagerly searched the ship for the relic, but failed to find it, not realizing that it was in fact the humans who were the "relics" the Luminary displayed. | When ''Minor Transgression'' arrived in the [[Epsilon Indi]] system, the ship's [[Luminary]] showed thousands of Forerunner relics on Harvest.
