Over 500 Phantoms descend from the Scouting Fleet. UFM and the Ronin Sangheili, incuding TWIO, are inside a modified Phantom exclusive to the Tacit Ronin; it is bigger and more heavily armored, and also equipped with stronger ordnance akin to a gunboat, along with a unique paintjob the team had added.

High Command Zealot "Kig-yar surface control. This is the flagship, Augury of Justice. Please designate a landing objective for large-scale troop deployment. Acknowledge?"

"And that's the embodiment of STARS' ego. It's more than three times the size of the Augury."

'Taralam "If it were equipped with more dedicated ordnance, heavier shielding and a slipspace drive, we could end the war with the Chat right now."

'Demunth "Are you kidding? The slipspace drive it has now is nowhere near powerful enough to make slipspace jumps."

'Nosol "It doesn't have long ranged scanners either."

'Quirov "You are comparing it to the standards of a warship. This asteroid is more; it's almost a planet."

As the Ronin Phantom moves closer, a trio of small cargo ships pass beneath them. 'Demunth passes the time of the flight by using the scanners on the Phantom to examine the surface of the asteroid. Upon closer examination, it revealed that tiny mining colonies had been established, and were feverishly extracting minerals.
