| - UNSC, Ve'nek, and Allegiance governments had lost contact on several occasions with vessels bound for worlds using the Antaeus Nebula as a mapped slipspace route. These vessels included a UNSC freighter, an Allegience survey ship, and on a later occasion, a Ve'nek passenger liner comprised of several high-profile politicians vital within their government. ONI special intelligence soon gathered that none of the ships that were reported missing within the quadrant had voluntarily or dispatched coordinates to exit slipspace within the Nebula, but were instead, ripped from slipspace with an intense gravity distortion field that disrupted their faster-than-light travel. There had been no worlds nearby to create such a powerful distortion in gravity, leaving the Office of Naval Intelligence to believe that the vessels were forcefully pulled by some sort of highly advanced tractor beam deployed by unknown, but powerful vessels. UNSC HIGHCOM was immediately notified of the baffling realization made by ONI, and orders were passed down in secrecy to investigate the happenings not with spy ships or scout vessels, but three Triton-class destroyers. The UNSC rapidly deployed these vessels under the command of Captain John Bradley, on the squadron's flagship dubbed the Watchman. Captain Bradley exited slipspace with his battlegroup to confront five enemy vessels upon entry to the quadrant. He employed a spy drone, which was quickly shot down by the unidentified ships; afterward Bradley ordered the vessels to give identification. When comms were opened, all that could be heard was a cacophony of hisses, clicks and screeches that not even the ship's AI could decipher properly; leading to the assumption that these ships were para-galactic intruders. Captain Bradley immediately radioed for reinforcements from nearby Allegiance and Ve'nek military installations, and thus the battle for the Antaeus Nebula began.
