During the time, the vessel explored and examined rocky [[moon]]s, planets with [[methane]] winds, comets, and the system's [[asteroid]] belt.<ref name="bc263">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 263-264''</ref> The crew had also discovered logs of captains that had spoken to [[Kig-Yar]] [[pirate]]s that claimed that they had been fired upon within the system.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 266''</ref> By [[2553]], the food supply was beginning to dwindle and petty arguments kept breaking out.
