While the [[Prophet of Regret]] was unable to find the [[Earth|human homeworld]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] devised a plan to have a group of [[Kig-yar]] merchants ally themselves with humans in order to find its location. The Kig-yar found a human population around a group of asteroids called "The Rubble", trailing the gas giant [[Hesiod]] in the [[23 Librae]] system. Originally, they pretended to be allies with the [[Insurrectionist]] and refugee citizens, and even made a trade agreement with the Insurrectionists that they would hand them Covenant weapons in exchange for [[slipspace drive]]s whilst waiting for the opportunity to capture navigational data that led to Earth. Lead by Reth, the Kig-yar bided their time and waited for the right moment to strike.

The weapons the Insurrectionists were handed were modified and sent to other Insurrectionists across UNSC space. When Regret found some of the weapons on sale on [[High Charity]], not knowing that they were part of Truth's plan, he sent some of the Covenant's top soldiers to silence the "rebels". Meanwhile, the UNSC sent the stealth-equipped [[UNSC light frigate|light frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} to investigate the source of the Covenant weapons. Earlier, the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] had been sent to the Rubble to eliminate all traces of navigational data with Earth's coordinates.
