On'Droell Station

On'Droell Station was a Covenant trade station located near the edge of Covenant controlled space, bordering to the Vendrul Directorate. It was a massive asteroid station commissioned by the Ministry of Prospering, the Covenant Ministry tasked with overseeing the economy and trade of the Empire, and built by Kig-yar engineers. The station was completed a few years before the start of the Human-Covenant War and saw an increase in trade between the different Fringe Species in the sector. The station would become a staging ground for the Covenant fleets that participated the Dalkai-Covenant War in 2532. While the station became known to the Dalkai at some point in the war, they were never able to mount a successful assault on the station to greatly disrupt Covenant supply lines.

After the Human-Covenant war, the station would be abandoned by covenant forces and left for the Fringe Species to take command over but was quickly occupied by Kig-Yar pirates who turned the station into a Pirate Haven, a refuge for the lawless and a black marked trading hub.

At some point before August 20, 2557 was Grall, a Ruuhtian Shipmistress, able to take control of On'Droell and name herself ruler of the station. She later met with Captain Walter North, an UNSC-Captain-turned-Insurrectionist, and made a deal with him to provide Covenant weaponry if he agreed to deliver a stolen UNSC warship to her. The deal was never completed, as North was killed in the destruction of the UNSC Uppercut and Grall was killed in the Dalkai attack on the station.
