Kabu'a Protectorate

The Unggoy Federation is a new governing body which rules over 90% of the Unggoy (English: Grunts), with the remaining 10% being in the Covenant.

Pre-Formation
During and after the Great Schism, Separatist Unggoy were forced from Balaho, their homeworld, as Loyalist forces were not willing to let the heretics gain any more land anywhere. They were forced to colonize barren planets or live in the Sangheili Empire, which would be expensive to safely reach, with small Loyalist patrols of one to two frigates destroying any suspicious ship. In 2555, the unorganized Unggoy created a militia, and made an attempt to recapture Balaho. With a force of two Covenant Destroyers and twenty-three civillian craft stuffed with over 10,000 Unggoy and 500 volunteer Sangheili warriors. However, a Loyalist Unggoy spy captured the information, and relayed the data to the Covenant High Council. The Covenant then stationed two CCS-class Battlecruisers and four Covenant Light Cruisers at Balaho. The ensuing fight, the Battle of Balaho, ended fairly quickly, with only seven Unggoy Separatist ships escaping.
