Around five decades after the Human-Covenant War and the Ark was destroyed the Covenant fled, scattered across the universe in small fleets or surviving parties of the once almighty, but now ravished congregation of alien races that was the Covenant.

The UNSC have separated their Navy into two divisions: those who go out and repair the damage the Covenant placed on the Humans and those who hunt down the remaining Covenant so they know the Covenant cannot rebuild or attack any other forms of life in their conquest to walk the path of the Great Journey.

This account is of the UNSC frigate class, Aurora Dawn, and its fleet as they hunt down the last surviving Covenant fleet as the Covenant ships drift towards an unknown planet in search of the one last Forerunner artifact that could help them achieve the path of the Great Journey in one moment and destroy all life in any and all surrounding galaxies. The Forerunner artifact, known as the Fruit of Good and Evil, found in the Forerunner sanctuary known as the Garden of Eden, which is found in the heart of the moon of this unknown planet. The Covenant must be stopped at all costs and Aurora Dawn and its followers will stop at nothing to end this war once and for all.
