When ''Minor Transgression'' arrived in the [[Epsilon Indi system]], the ship's [[Luminary]] showed thousands of Forerunner relics on Harvest. This was an unprecedented find, and one the Kig-Yar were eager to exploit. They disconnected the Luminary from the ship's communication relay to prevent it from transmitting a true account of how many relics the planet had on it so that they could take some for themselves and sell them for profit.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 92''</ref> They attacked another freighter that showed a relic onboard: ''[[This End Up]]'', captained by [[Henry Gibson]]. The Kig-Yar again boarded the vessel via the umbilical, and Henry was killed in the ensuing fight by Lighter Than Some.

By this time, [[ONI]] suspected the raids were being conducted by [[Insurrectionist]] forces, and laid a trap to engage the raiders, using a "derelict" freighter as bait, with [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]] inside to spring the trap. The ''Minor Transgression'' attacked, determined to claim the relics onboard. Johnson and Byrne killed several of the boarders, and Johnson pursued the few surviving Kig-Yar raiders back onto ''Minor Transgression''.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 128-130''</ref> While this battle raged, Dadab and Lighter Than Some repaired the Luminary and transmitted a full account of Harvest's relics to ''[[High Charity]]'' and then fled in an escape pod. Gravely injured and knowing her plans for profit (which included taking her ship out of commission for the mating season and raising young of her own) were undone, Chur'R-Yar ignited the methane meant for Unggoy life-support in a final attempt to kill Johnson. The resulting detonation destroyed the ''Minor Transgression''. Dadab and Lighter Than Some were the only survivors of the original crew.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 134''</ref> | By this time, [[ONI]] suspected the raids were being conducted by [[Insurrectionist]] forces, and laid a trap to engage the raiders, using a "derelict" freighter as bait, with [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]] inside to spring the trap.
