In [[2526#March|March 2526]], Amasa was the tenth human colony in line to be [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|targeted and attacked]] by the [[Covenant]]'s [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]], commanded by [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]].{{Ref/Reuse|hss131}}

While the [[Covenant fleet]] was [[glassing]] [[Etalan]], a unit of the [[Silent Shadow]], led by [[First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]], arrived on Amasa to take a measure of the colony's defenses and search for hints of [[Forerunner]] artifacts. Aware that Amasa would be targeted by the Covenant, the [[United Rebel Front]] deployed a messenger to the world who located the Silent Shadow and delivered a transmission, before being slain by the [[Sangheili]] warriors. The transmission contained a message from [[Major General]] [[Harper Garvin]], who proposed an alliance between the Covenant and URF to topple the [[Unified Earth Government]]. The Silent Shadow delivered the message to 'Kvarosee over Etalan, who sought to use the alliance as an opportunity to locate more human colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|hss131}} Amasa's status following the war is unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
