Despite their major numerical and technological advantages over humanity, by [[2531]], the Covenant High Prophets had realized that the task of destroying an entire sapient species had a logistical burden beyond anything that the [[Covenant Military]] could muster without leaving Covenant space defenseless.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Scarab (Level)|Scarab]]''</ref> In spite of the UNSC's inferiority in comparison to the Covenant, the Prophets apparently considered their armed forces to be powerful enough to pose a threat to the Covenant proper. The [[Prophet of Regret]] dispatched an [[Ripa 'Moramee|Arbiter]] to Harvest to claim a Forerunner [[Relic ~~(Structure)~~|artifact]] buried under the north pole of Harvest.

Preston Cole counter-attacked by leading a fleet composed of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and the {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}} back to Harvest after receiving a message from an [[ONI]] [[UNSC Prowler|Prowler]]. The battle was a human victory despite major casualties. Upon discovering that the Covenant, under the command of 'Moramee, had excavated Forerunner artifacts in the northern polar region, [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[James Cutter]] deployed ground forces to remove the Covenant occupation. After a heated fight on the surface, the UNSC forces were able to examine the artifact, apparently some kind of star map, and realized that information from the map had led the Covenant to another UNSC colony: [[Arcadia]].
