On [[2558#October|October 28, 2558]] the Swords of Sanghelios emerged victorious over Jul 'Mdama's Covenant at the [[Battle of Sunaion]].{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Guardians]]}} However, when [[Fireteam Osiris]] and [[Blue Team]] returned through a [[slipspace portal]] in [[India 127|a Pelican]] from Genesis, they found the planet blacked out and realized that Cortana [[The Reclamation|sent]] a Guardian to Sanghelios too after the Sangheili were too proud to accept her offer. The Spartans were able to track the Arbiter and his surviving people to [[Nuusra]] where they reunited with the Swords of Sangheilos, Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] and Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]. The Arbiter invited them to join them for a meal while Halsey revealed that she had managed to use the Forerunner technology in the area to make contact with the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} which would appear off the far side of Suban for fifteen minutes the next day at eighteen hundred hours standard time. Palmer explained that soon after Cortana sent out her manifesto, a Guardian arrived on Sanghelios and began taking most of what remained of 'Mdama's Covenant fleet with its standard armament before using an EMP to shut down power across the hemisphere. Rumor had it that the Guardian was on the other side of the planet blacking out that side too since its effect had a limited range. The next day, the humans departed Sanghelios in the Pelican recovered from Genesis and managed to avoid any trouble while rendezvousing with ''Infinity''. However, the Arbiter received reports of Forerunner soldiers actively pacifying cities that resisted the Guardian.{{Ref/Novel|BadB|Chapter=1}}

By 2559, the Created had taken control of the planet. An administrator was installed to a position of power. All [[keep|keephold]] forces were disarmed and disbanded and local security was to be handled by [[armiger]]s. Three days after the [[Razing of Oth Sonin]], a [[High Gathering]] was held between Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and several [[High Kaidon|high kaidon]]s. Here, the Arbiter proposed the [[Concert of Worlds]], a formal alliance between all Sangheili planets, including Sanghelios. However, the lack of commitment seen at the meeting led the Arbiter to suspect that many of the high kaidons were placing their own interests above the need to stand strong and united against the threats of the [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], mercenaries, and even [[San'Shyuum flotilla|vestiges]] of the [[San'Shyuum]].{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=1|Quote=Perhaps the high kaidons wanted the Sangheili to remain divided and weak. That was the only explanation Arbiter Thel ‘Vadam could imagine for their squabbling and intransigence, for putting their own interests above the need to stand strong and united. Did they truly expect the Tyrant’s “peace” to protect Sangheili space from the encroachments of the Jiralhanae and the Kig-Yar?}}

After Cortana's death on [[Installation 07]], the Created relinquished their grip on Sanghelios and the rest of Urs system. While many keeps and kaidons on Sanghelios remained steadfast in their support on the Swords of Sanghelios, others sought other factions to pledge their allegiances, with the Banished being well received by some keeps; some of these keeps even allowed the Banished to enter the Urs systems without problems, starting a [[Battle of Suban|conflict]] between the Swords and the Banished on Sanghelios' moon, Suban.{{Ref/Reuse|BftBM}}
