User:Ebon Shadowshot/Operation: DECIMATION

"If we can unearth the Nartol's creation, then we can use it against the Sangheili and crush all that stand in our way. To take care of the Nartol, we enact Operation: Decimation!"

- Yormus to a Karidan Commander.

Operation: Decimation (often called the Fall of Azather) was a planetary battle between the Covenant Loyalists and the Nartol species. The cause of the battle was the Jiralhanae's need for more powerful weapons and had heard tales of a creation the Nartol had been making for centuries. To unearth the contraption, the Jiralhanae launched the Operation to capture the device and kill all who stood in their way. While they went underground, they unearthed not the creation, but something much worse.
