Even long before the start of the Great Schism, the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] had plans of replacing the Sangheili with the Jiralhanae, as he saw them as more willing and unquestioning pawns, while he despised the Sangheili, doubting their reliability and loyalty. However, he kept these schemes strictly to himself, and waited until the time was right. | Even long before the start of the Great Schism, the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] had plans of replacing the Sangheili with the Jiralhanae, as he saw them as more willing and unquestioning pawns, while he despised the Sangheili, doubting their reliability and loyalty.

Soon after, the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] made a move Truth did not expect: having discovered a significant [[Forerunner]] [[The Portal|artifact]] on Earth on his own, but unaware of the fact it was humanity's homeworld, he took a fleet of fifteen ships to Earth. Immediately after Truth learned of this, he sent the remnants of the fleet he had amassed to Earth, and gave his Jiralhanae troops orders to forcibly overtake the Sangheili in command of the remaining forces on and above Earth. When Regret retreated from Earth, his Sangheili-led ships in orbit still continued to engage the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]], but now without a leader. Only moments after, the Jiralhanae forces within the fleet and on the ground killed any remaining Sangheili forces, as Truth had ordered. They continued to hold New Mombasa until the reinforcements sent by Truth arrived. As [[High Charity]] and the rest of the Covenant fleet were now on their way to the newly-discovered [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]], Truth's move remained a secret from the rest of the Covenant. Regret, who would arrive at Delta Halo some time before High Charity and the rest of the Covenant, would serve yet another purpose for Truth; the final stage in his plan.<ref name="oct20"/> | Soon after, the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] made a move Truth did not expect: having discovered a significant [[Forerunner]] [[The Portal|artifact]] on Earth on his own, but unaware of the fact it was humanity's homeworld, he took a fleet of fifteen ships to Earth.
