Guardians of the Consecrated Chalice

From Halo: Daybreak

The Guardians of the Consecrated Chalice are a small band of pirates that operate in the Kelsac Periphery in the Siakar Expanse. Led by a Kig-Yar shipmistress, they are named after a Forerunner assembler apparatus also called the Chalice. This produces various forms of incredibly-advanced technology, making them a far more formidable threat than their small size suggests.

As of 2558, the Guardians' operations are limited to the Holy Ecumene, but unconfirmed sightings of their ships have been recorded in the waystation systems of the Hades Gulf. Their usage of Forerunner technology makes them a non-negligible threat to UEG interests, particularly if they turn their interests towards the Human Sphere.
