Three Tysel-pattern DRV Intrusion Corvettes can be seen in formation over Doisac. In 2490, the Flotilla of Untapped Zeal, consisting of the corvettes Hurried Imperception, Darkened Truth, Pervasive Discontent and Glory Illuminate made landfall on Doisac ahead of the imminent Covenant invasion there. These vessels and their Silent Shadow crews laid the groundwork for Doisac’s fall to the Covenant a year later.
