*The [[Ussans]] continue to develop their new colony on Shield World 0673, calling it [[the Refuge]]. [[Monitor]] [[Enduring Bias]] informs Ussa and [[Sooln 'Xellus]] of the [[shield world]]'s "Disassembler" process that allows the world to break itself apart and have its disparate parts remain habitable. Intrigued, Ussa investigates the process further.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 72''</ref>
*The Prophet of Inner Conviction is given command of stealth [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] ''[[Vengeful Vitality]]'', and a crew consisting of [[San'Shyuum]] Captain [[Vervum L'kosur]], communications officer [[S'Prog]], and weapons officer [[Mleer]], [[Sangheili]] [[Trok 'Tanghil]], [[Vil 'Kthamee]], [[Ziln 'Klel]], and [[Loquen 'Nvong]], and the [[Huragok]] [[Floats Near Ceiling]]. The corvette then departed for Janjur Qom.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 79''</ref>
*Growing distrustful of Ussa, [[Salus 'Crolon]] and [['Drem]] begin to conspire against the Refuge's leadership. [[Tersa 'Gunok]] refuses to join them, but becomes inadvertently involved with the conspiracy nonetheless.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 89-94''</ref>
*''Vengeful Vitality'' arrives at the [[Reskolah]] region of Janjur Qom and a team is sent to the planet's surface, led by the Prophet of Inner Conviction. Upon arriving at the [[grotto of the Great Transition]], the group retrieves a Luminary and [[Purifying Vision of the Holy Path|a device]].<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 97-103''</ref> Loquen and Vervum betray the rest of the team, upon the orders of the Minister of Anticipatory Security. However, due to the intervention of Vil and Floats Near Ceiling, the others escape while Vervum and Loquen are killed or captured by the Stoics.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 108-114''</ref>
*Tersa becomes infatuated with [[Lnur 'Mol]], and the two walk together in [[Ussa's Garden]]. They overhear 'Crolon and 'Drem attempt to convince [[Gmezza|two]] [[Scorinn|others]] to join their secret rebellion, but Tersa and Lnur are spotted. The two manage to outrun 'Crolon and 'Drem, but the latter two falsely claim that Tersa and Lnur are conspiring against Ussa.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 124-128''</ref>
*Covenant Forces discover the location of the Ussan Sangheili rebels. Former Hierarch Qurlom delivers the news in the middle of the Prophet of Inner Conviction's "trial" in front the other Hierarchs. Inner Conviction is sent to lead a fleet to the Refuge while the Minister of Anticipatory Security is demoted.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 182-183''</ref>
*A Covenant Fleet led by the Prophet of Inner Conviction arrives at the Refuge to destroy the last resistance to the Writ of Union. The Prophet secretly contacts Ussa to try to get him to surrender, but Ussa rejects. After a brief battle between Ussan Sangheili and boarding Covenant Sangheili and Sentinels, Ussa contacts Inner Conviction and tells him to pull back his forces or they will perish with his soldier when he destroys the shield world. Amazingly, he does just that, although he and other Ussans survive in separate sections. The Prophet of Inner Conviction decides not to look for survivors and returns to High Charity in partial failure once more.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 203-205''</ref>
