On the UNSC colony [[Harvest]], there is only peace and prosperity. Watched by two [[A.I.]], [[Sif]] and [[Mack]], the colony produces much of Humanity's food. This peace is interrupted when a [[Jackal]] controlled vessel, [[Minor Transgression]] discovers the planet. A Covenant [[Grunt]], [[Deacon]] [[Dadab]], is alarmed when the ship's [[Luminary]] seem to register thousands of [[Forerunner]] artifacts and an [[Oracle]], the Covenant term for a Forerunner A.I. The opportunistic Jackals plan to take some artifacts for themselves before reporting the discovery to the [[Hierarchs]], and begin surreptitiously raiding human freighters. Unfortunately for the Jackals, [[ONI]] had recently organized a strike team to counteract what they believed to be a growing [[Insurrectionist]] group, including one [[Staff Sergeant Avery J. Johnson]]. They successfully fooled Minor Transgression into boarding a freighter where they were immediately attacked by Johnson and [[Staff Sergeant Byrne]]. This raid marked the first meeting of the humans and Covenant forces, and makes the humans aware of a brand new threat they may be facing. The vessel is destroyed by Johnson, with only the Deacon Dadab and his [[Huragok|Engineer]] friend [i][[Lighter Than Some]][/i] escaping in a separate vessel. While the UNSC prepares the [[Colonial Militia]] for a possible alien invasion, two ambitious [[Prophets]], The [[Minister of Fortitude]] and the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] learn of the large amount of "relics" found on Harvest and begin to plan a coup of the current Heirarchs using this as a fulcrum. To keep the [[Elites]] from using this discovery as a way to upset the balance of power, they utilize a Brute-controlled ship, [[Rapid Conversion]], captained by [[Maccabeus]], Brute Alpha Male, and crewed by his pack of Brutes (including a youthful [[Tartarus]]), the two began a secret attempt to seize the planet. This marks the beginning of the powerful alliance between the Brutes and the Prophets, and the key to their eventual betrayal of the Sangheili.

This raid marked the first meeting of the humans and Covenant forces, and makes the humans aware of a brand new threat they may be facing. The vessel is destroyed by Johnson, with only the Deacon Dadab and his [[Huragok|Engineer]] friend ''[[Lighter Than Some]]'' escaping in a separate vessel. While the UNSC prepares the [[Colonial Militia]] for a possible alien invasion, two ambitious [[Prophets]], The [[Minister of Fortitude]] and the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] learn of the large amount of "relics" found on Harvest and begin to plan a coup of the current Heirarchs using this as a fulcrum.

Rapid Conversion arrives in the system to find the escape pod of Dadab and Lighter Than Some, Much to the devout Maccabeus' delight. The Brutes use the Deacon as a way to motivate their own lackluster compliment of Grunts and the Engineer to repair their intentionally crippled ship. They all soon discover the planet's vast store of reclamations and a message of peace left by [[Sif]] and [[Mack]] in the form of a crude pictogram displaying a desire for peace. The Brutes land two [[Spirit]] Dropships at a specified date, with only the desire to capture the entire planet at any cost. The attempt at peaceful contact falls apart after an errant Grunt attacks a wandering militiaman, and the one-sided [[Battle of Harvest]] begins.
