no, the only two planets we KNOW they invaded a Sigma Octanus IV or V, cant remember, and Reach. Reach didnt have an artefacts on it but it did have the location of earth and crap. The Covenant either want to make sure we completely annihalated or find out if there are any other Colonies that they havent discovered.
The Covenant invade planets often. Hell Fred-104 alone had over 100 ground campaigns with the Covenant. The planets that I remember them invading are, Draco 3, Sigma Octanus IV, Reach, Earth, and Jerico VII. Plus why not invade a planet?
You don't always need a pretty little artifact to go after. Send in Grunts and Jackals(which is what they did from 2525 till 2552 when everything else shows up) and have them kill humans up close and personnal. Gives them their warrior pride.
actually, there WAS an artifact on reach. read first strike.
also (i think i said this on the covenant primer fourm as well) i think the hunters might be convinced to turn on the rest of the covies. maybe. according to the primer, theyre the least loyal to the prophets of the bunch. in first strike, the brutes arent just fanatics but are actually temple guards (read: loyal as all crap), elites and prophets are obvious, and jackals and grunts are pretty much happy with their lots. so, if anyones gonna turn, it'd be hunters.
