The Great Journey (Covenant) #1 [1st Main]

Mission Briefing

The Great Journey is upon us and none will stop our path to salvation.
The humans on planet Arcadia are in possession of several Forerunner artefacts that must be obtained by the Covenant.
Our Zealots tried infiltrating the New Delphi Research station but were unsuccessful in their mission. They we're however able to provide us with some intel on there being artefacts in the city, it is crucial that we retrieve these.
Infiltrate and decimate the city, show the filthy humans what the Covenant are made of and create terror amongst their population.
