User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/Sanghelios-Te Military Alliance

The Sanghelios-Te Military Alliance refers to the sercurity measures put in place by the Sangheilian Council and the united collective of Lekgolo worms. As the Te Union had claimed independence, this claim was disputed by both the Republic of Sangheili Meritocracy and the Neo-Covenant Empire. As the Doisac War increased in intensity, the both sides raced to have the hulking Mgalekgolo under their control.

History
When the Sangheili Ambassador Tale 'Kusovai reached Te, he quickly realised that his light frigate and escort of a carrier and a destroyer, would have been easily destroyed by the Hdulekgolo, the vast fleet of warships that were individually control by a large group of Lekgolo worms. Instead of attacking as previously planned and taking control of Te and the Lekgolo, as in the Taming of the Hunters, Ambassador 'Kusovai proposed a military alliance whereas the Te Union kept their independence and if attacked by a hostile force would recieve military aid and support from the RSM.

It was in Ambassador's 'Kusovai opinion that instead of having the Te Union under their command, he made sure that the Neo-Covenant Empire couldn't have them either. Within hours of offering the military alliance, the Third Fleet of Endless Devotion from the Neo-Covenant Empire had entered the system and demanded the unconditional surrender of the Te Union and their subjugation into the Empire. Obviously refusing, Te and the partially constructed Yuhl Space Station came under attack from the Third Fleet of Endless Devotion.

The Hdulekgolo responded in force, to protect Te from their most direct threat so far and were surprised when the three Sangheili warship entered the fray, attacking unnoticed on the Third Fleet's flank cutting the attack in two while the Hdulekgolo smashed the closest half of the fleet before crusing past their destroyed hull before chasing off the other half. The Sangheili Destroyer Marasta (named after an ancient melee weapon on Sanghelios) was destroyed when it was rammed by the Fleetmaster Asurinus as it helped the Hdulekgolo chase down the fleeing half of the Third Fleet.

Aftermath
Seeing that they could and most likely would be attacked by other hostile forces, the Te Union accepted the military alliance offered by Ambassador 'Kusovai. While retaining their independence, the Te Union had sercured additional protection of their territory at the cost of a few dozen automated monitoring station to help the Sangheili know of any incoming aggressive fleets. While delighted that the Neo-Covenant had not got their hands of the Mgalekgolo soldiers, they considered it a pyrrhic victory as the Te Union were not under their command.
