The '''Cole Protocol''', otherwise known as '''United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1''' | The '''Cole Protocol''', otherwise known as '''United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1''' was a command enacted by [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] to prevent the [[Covenant]] from finding the location of [[Earth]]. Essentially, it was an order preventing Covenant retrieval of data that contains the location of Earth, and forbids retreating vessels from setting a direct slipspace course to Earth, as the Covenant are able to track [[Slipspace|Slipspace travel]] and find Earth's location. The policy also states that to prevent capture, any [[UNSC]] or Human vessel is to self destruct, after wiping all data matrices, to prevent the advance of the Covenant. | ||
All UNSC personnel were commanded to read the Cole Protocol under [[NAVCOM]] [[UNSC Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1]]. The Cole Protocol ensured that in nearly 27 years of interstellar warfare, the Covenant never discovered the Human presence on Earth. Unfortunately, the Protocol eventually outlived its usefulness when the Covenant, by pure chance, discovered Earth in 2552. | All UNSC personnel were commanded to read the Cole Protocol under [[NAVCOM]] [[UNSC Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1]].
