==The Discovery and War Edit == "Not only shall we win this war, we shall bring pride, glory, and honor to the Empire!" -Thorn to the crew of his flag ship

Thorn Set is a Imperial Special Forces Commando, as well as a Imperial Knight, who was given the task to discover a new galaxy. The Emperor himself had given Thorn this task, so Thorn was determined to discover a new galaxy! His fleet left their home galaxy around 5 ABY. The journey took about 7 standard years of hyper-space travel. Eventually the fleet found a spiral galaxy called the Milky Way. When the fleet came out of hyper-space near the Orion Arm, they were greeted by the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) ship Spirit Of Fire. Thorn wanted to learn about the galaxy he had discovered, so he decided not to attack the UNSC Ship. Eventually Thorn became very good friends with the captain of the ship, Capt. James Gregory Cutter. Cutter told Thorn that the UNSC was currently at war with the Covenant, the war was called the Human-Covenant War. The UNSC made a deal with Thorn that if his fleet helped them in the war, the UNSC would give him his very own suit of Spartan armor, as well as all the information he wanted.

Thorn's flag ship, the Eclipse SSD, was the strongest ship in the entire galaxy. One world after another was conquered, by the UNSC and Thorn's fleet! Just as they thought the war was won, the Covenant made a suprise attack on Thorn's fleet, destroying the Chimara, Actello, Conquest, Relentless, and the Steadfast. The Avenger, Devastator, Thunder, and the Vengeance were badly damaged. But, in the end Thorn's fleet overpowered the Covenant forces and were victorious!

With the destruction of the Covenant fleet, the remaining Covenant forces retreated to the planet, Y'Deio. The UNSC and Thorn both agreed that they would need to launch a massive invasion on the planet to win the war. It was decided that Thorn's flag ship, the Eclipse SSD, would take point during the inavsion, because the Eclipse SSD was the strongest ship in the galaxy. The Eclipse was loaded to its full capacity of 150,000 troops with several Spartans, 708,470 crew members, and 600,000 tons of cargo.





The Invasion And The End Of The War "Men, today we end the Covenant once and for all!" -Thorn to his troops-

When the Eclipse arrived in the Y'Deio system, it was ambushed by two Covenant cruisers, however, they were no match for the power of the Eclipse. The Eclipse then gave the order for all ships to come to the system. Once the UNSC fleet and Thorn's fleet were in the system they began heading to the planet Y'Deio.

Y'Deio was defended more than the UNSC and Thorn had thought. Thorn gave the order for all ships to charge the Covenant fleet. The battle was very costly, destroying 4 UNSC ships and 7 of Thorn's ships. Once the space around Y'Deio was secured, they began the invasion.

The Eclipse began bringing it's Walkers and troops down to the planet's surface. Thorn personaly wanted to be part of the battle, so he assembled his elite team. When their shuttle was about to land, a rocket came out of nowhere and blew the shuttle to pieces! Thorn and his fellow Imperial Knight, Atton, managed to escape the shuttle just before it crashed. Thorn and Atton were the only ones who surrived the crash. They new that the Covenant forces would look for survivors from the crashed ship, and that if they just waited for help, the Covenant would find them and eventualy kill them.

The UNSC Forces were fighting the Covenant forces, without the help from Thorn or his forces. Thorn and Atton both agreed that they needed to get down to the battle field, and help the UNSC forces. They encounterd several Covenant troops on there way to the battle field. However, the Covenant forces were no match for the two experienced Imperial Knights.



Eventually, the two Knights made it down to the battle field. When they arrived, things were worse than they had thought. The UNSC troops were out numbered by at least 1:3! There was no time to waste! Thorn gave the order, for all of his forces to join the battle. Atton was killing Covenant forces left and right. Thorn on the other hand was helping the Sprtans deal with the Covenant. The battle raged on for several hours. With the help from the two Imperial Knoght the battle turned in the UNSC's favor. Eventually, the Covenant only had a few troops left. Thorn knew the end of the battle... end of the war was near. Atton and Thorn decided to prevent further loss of life to call in a bombing run. The bombers wiped out the remaning Covenant forces, leaveing no survivors. At last the war was over, and the UNSC was victorious, and Thorn had brought pride and honor to the Empire.
