Qerkossian Shore

The Qerkossian Shore was once part of the Covenant periphery, settled a few centuries before the discovery of Y'Deio and the Kig-Yar, because of the Covenant's irregular expansion pattern. By the time the first Covenant ship stumbled on the Y'Deio system, Covenant space already surrounded it on many sides. It was once a key holdfast in the Covenant frontier, housing notable outpost-worlds that later seeded colonies in the Chikri-Merkaa Strand of the Siakar Expanse.
