At some point after the Rubble's initial colonization, a Kig-Yar vessel passed through Hesiod's asteroid field and discovered the Rubble. As the ship scanned the asteroids and the Rubble's inhabitants considered whether to attack or to flee the system, [[Peter Bonifacio]] hailed the craft and proposed a trade agreement with the Kig-Yar. He explained that the humans inhabiting the Rubble were not affiliated with the UNSC, and sent them a manifest of the goods within the Rubble's storage centers. One month later, a Kig-Yar named Reth responded favorably to the proposition, offering Covenant weaponry in exchange for human [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace engines]]. | At some point after the Rubble's initial colonization, a Kig-Yar vessel passed through Hesiod's asteroid field and discovered the Rubble.

Unknown to the rest of the Covenant, the Kig-Yar were actually secretly permitted to engage in trade by the [[Prophet of Truth]], who hoped to find the location of [[Earth]]. Meanwhile, the people of the Rubble considered their relationship with the Kig-Yar to be a first step toward peace with the Covenant - they viewed the [[Human-Covenant War]] as being the UNSC's fault, and believed that through negotiation, humanity could actually become a client race of the Covenant. | |||
===Discovery by the UNSC and Covenant=== | |||
After discovering modified Covenant weaponry originating from Rubble's system, the Prophet of Regret declared Reth and his associates to be heretics, and ordered [[Thel 'Vadamee]] and his team of [[Zealots]] to deal with them. Thel and his crew traveled to the system aboard the vessel ''[[Retribution's Thunder]]'', along with the Kig-Yar raider ''A Psalm Every Day'' captained by [[Chur 'R-Mut]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Chieftain]] [[Pellius]]. After the Covenant force discovered the Rubble, ''A Psalm Every Day'' opened fire on the ''Thunder''; the Jiralhanae Chieftain Pellius had decided to seize control of the vessel and betray Thel and his crew, so that he would have the sole honor of finding the Rubble. Thel and his team were subsequently captured and imprisoned on the Rubble. | |||
Shortly afterward, the Rubble was discovered by the UNSC, who sent [[Spartan]] [[Gray Team]] to investigate it. Later, the [[UNSC]] light frigate ''[[Midsummer Night]]'' tracked the freighter [[Kestrel]] to the Rubble, where they were subsequently attacked and forced to dock with one of the asteroids. | |||
