Elchin Littoral

The Elchin Litoral is the galactic outward-most region of space controlled by the defunct Covenant, located in the Uchaal Wing. It is an isolated region that is cut off from the rest of the Covenant Sphere by starless voids such as the nearby Ullos Gulf, with only a small cluster acting as a bridge between the two regions.

In the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War, rumors circulated that a massive ex-Covenant fleet departed for the Elchin Litoral from the Sol system, as its fleetmaster correctly anticipated the scale of the civil war that would engulf the empire. Upon capturing an inert UNSC colony ship filled with cryofrozen occupants, he departed for the region in an effort to catch up to a settlement fleet that was being spearheaded by his brother.
