When 'Kvarosee ascended to [[fleetmaster]] of the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]], he swore to execute the will of the [[San'Shyuum]] as if it were his own. The [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]] was attached to his fleet, serving as a ceremonial magistrate rather than a military commander. The Minor Minister was particularly ill-suited to the rigors of campaigns and [[glassing]] operations, and 'Kvarosee found himself taking a dislike to the unimpressive San'Shyuum politician. In this capacity, 'Kvarosee was charged with leading his fleet against the [[United Nations Space Command]] across the [[Outer Colonies]].<ref name="ss9"/> | ||
His orders were to destroy [[human colonies]] as quickly as possible, and to survey their worlds and capture those that contained [[Forerunner]] relics, while glassing the worlds that did not. Under 'Kvarosee's invasion plan, he had numerous colonies designated as targets, with [[Amasa]] being the tenth. A unit of the [[Silent Shadow]] led by [[First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]] was tasked with scouting out the targeted worlds for any Forerunner artifacts and measure the defenses of each world.<ref name="ss9"/> | His orders were to destroy [[human colonies]] as quickly as possible, and to survey their worlds and capture those that contained [[Forerunner]] relics, while glassing the worlds that did not.

Early in 'Kvarosee's campaigns, ''[[Unrelenting]]'' and ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'' were lost through mysterious means while alone over [[Chi Ceti IV]] and [[Netherop]], respectively. The loses of these ships led to much speculation among his staff officers. In [[2526#March|March 2526]], the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience was targeting the underdeveloped and primitive colony of [[Etalan]] in the [[Igdras system]].

The loses of these ships led to much speculation among his staff officers. In [[2526#March|March 2526]], the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience was targeting the underdeveloped and primitive colony of [[Etalan]] in the [[Igdras system]]. After two uneventful [[cycle]]s of glassing the planet, the Minor Minister grew restless and incited 'Kvarosee to expedite the extermination. Before anything could be done, 'Szatulai approached the fleetmaster with a message from [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]] of the [[United Rebel Front]]. Garvin revealed that [[Spartan-IIs]] were responsible for the loss of his ships, and intended to destroy his fleet at [[Biko]], further proposing to help eliminate the Spartans if the Covenant left their worlds alone. 'Kvarosee had 'Szatulai assemble a ''[[kai'd]]'' to hunt down the Spartans and locate Garvin on Biko's [[moon]] of [[Seoba]]. To ensure the deaths of Etalan's inhabitants, 'Kvarosee [[Orbital bombardment|bombarded]] Etalan's shield volcano with [[plasma]] fire, triggering an eruption that filled the sky with ash to suffocate its inhabitants.<ref name="ss9"/> | ||

This was aided by information from the rebels that allowed the fleetmaster to adjust his tactics to the human boarding tactics. However, much to the fleetmaster's fury, the Spartan-IIs had slipped away to Etalan and decimated most of the fleet's supply convoy that 'Kvarosee had left behind, bringing the fleet's advance to a halt. While the Minor Minister threatened him with punishment from the [[High Council]], 'Kvarosee called for a new logistics flotilla to meet with his fleet after gathering the surviving vessels at Etalan. 'Kvarosee and the Minor Minister met with 'Szatulai again, who warned them that the humans had captured a ''[[kelguid]]'' from one of his [[Worthy Silence|corvettes]], which contained the fleet's supply network. While the Minor Minister feared the humans planned to attack [[High Charity]], the Sangheili suspected that the nearby Covenant supply world of [[Zhoist]] was the likely target.<ref name="ss21"/> | ||
By [[2526#April|April 15, 2526]], the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience had arrived at Zhoist, where the Spartans began targeting orbital facilities and raiding its [[space elevator]]s. 'Kvarosee dispatched the First Blade to hunt down the Spartans at the elevators, while he continued to hunt down the humans' remaining [[Prowler]]s.<ref name="ss26">'' | By [[2526#April|April 15, 2526]], the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience had arrived at Zhoist, where the Spartans began targeting orbital facilities and raiding its [[space elevator]]s.

While the Minor Minister threatened and disparaged the fleetmaster, 'Kvarosee's steward [[Tam 'Lakosee]] killed the San'Shyuum. 'Kvarosee resolved to incinerate the Prophet's body and inform the [[Hierarchs]] that the Minor Minister died in battle. 'Kvarosee had his fleet regroup to recover what he could and withdraw beyond the planet's [[gravity well]]. To his displeasure, the human captives only laughed when interrogated. Shortly afterwards, six of his ships were destroyed by the [[octanitrocubane|octas]] the prisoners managed to smuggle into his fleet when they were captured.<ref name="ssepilogue"/> | ||
