Keepers of the One Freedom: Difference between revisions

In [[2553]], a [[UNSC]] task force was dispatched to [[Gao]] with the mission of retrieving a suspected [[Forerunner]] [[Ancilla]]. During their inspection, the term "Ancilla" was overheard by [[Veta Lopis]], who promptly relayed this information to [[Arlo Casille]]. Arlo then informed the Cult Leader [[Castor]] about the Ancilla, much to the Jiralhanae's delight, beginning a Keeper invasion of Gao to recover the oracle. The attack on UNSC forces begun when the [[One Light]] landed in a staged inspection, dispatching 500 troops into the jungle. The first attempt to recover the ancilla involved sending a small brute task force into the caves, where they encountered and were subsequently defeated by [[Spartan]] [[Blue Team]]. At the same time, the larger task force opened fire on the UNSC garrison at [[Wendosa]], uring mortars and snipers to suppress the UNSC marines. when Blue Team eventually emerged from the cave system into the war-torn town, they pushed through the Keepers to [[Hotel Wendosa]] to link up with what remained of the garrison. Although Blue Team would be evacuated by a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]], the aircraft would be shot down by Keeper snipers, crash-landing in the jungle nearby. Crastor and his pack would move in to engage the survivors of the crash, but would eventually be defeated by [[Blue Team]]. Crastor was presumed dead after sustaining grievous injuries at the hands of [[Frederic-104]], but would later encounter the [[Huragok]] [[Roams Alone]], who would heal the injured Jiralhanae.}}

The Keepers have a wide range of former [[Covenant]] and human weaponry at their disposal, including mortars, [[Type-50 Particle Beam Rifle|Beam Rifles]], [[Type-33 Needler|Needlers]], [[Type-25 Plasma Rifle|Plasma Rifles]] and more traditional brute weapons such as the [[Type-25 Spiker|Spiker]] and [[Type-52 Mauler|Mauler]]. The Keepers also have at least one operational starship, the [[One Light]]. Their manpower consists of hundreds, if not thousands, of soldiers of [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Human]] species. Their allies on [[Gao]] and [[Venezia]] have ensured a steady stream of supplies and weapons to the faction, allowing them to conduct anti-[[UNSC]] operations in a large capacity. They are also known to use [[Jiralhanae Power Armour]], painted blue and gold, for the colours of the Keepers.
