Arendelle Under Siege: How Would the Covenant React to an Invasion?

In the realm of Frozen 2, a covenant scout team, consisting of six elite Grunts and two Jackals, arrives in the enchanted kingdom of Arendelle. The question is raised: what would happen if they were to invade? Would Elsa and the spirits be able to defend themselves, or would extra-terrestrial forces prove too powerful?

Understanding the Context

The answer to this question depends largely on the nature of the scout team and their mission. If they were led by an Elite Zealot, they would be sent to Arendelle in search of Holy Relics, or in this case, Forerunner technology. This implies that a shipmaster may have detected these technologies on a planet inhabited by unknown sentient races, leading him to send a small team to secure the relic and retreat from the area before any inhabitants became aware of their presence.

The Human Element

However, the human element in the Frozen universe is crucial. In this universe, Humans are an offshoot of the Covenant, trading them as heretics for their role in posing a threat to the Forerunners' Mantle. The scout team's mission is to assess and understand the "magic" and spirits encountered during planetary scans and visual confirmations.

Technical Limitations and Consequences

Given the lack of space-faring technology in the Frozen universe, the Covenant might resort to more drastic measures to eliminate the threat. The most probable action they would take would be to "glass" the planet from orbit, a destructive technique involving the complete destruction of a planet's surface.

Potential Scenarios

Another possibility is that the scout team might have crash-landed, leaving them marooned. The Elite leading the team would perhaps face the threat of the Hierarchs and strive to honor their duties. Given the lack of understanding about magic and spirits, they would likely be outmatched. Even if the team managed to call for help, a CCS-class cruiser would undoubtedly arrive to "glass" the planet.

Conclusion

The outcome of such an invasion would depend on numerous factors, including the nature of the scout team, the resources at their disposal, and the tactics employed. While it is tempting to imagine a clash between the enchantments of Arendelle and the advanced technology of the Covenant, the sheer technological disparity and the cultural context of the Frozen universe suggest that the Covenant would likely prevail.
