Following the [[Voi Memorial|end]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2553#March|March 2553]], an attempted [[Jiralhanae]] insurrection in [[Ontom]] led [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth, to the decision for an immediate assault on the state of [[Vadam]] against the newly formed [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Along with nine ships and forces from [[Nuan keep]] and [[Rtova keep]], 'Telcam commanded the assault from the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] ''[[Unflinching Resolve]]''.{{Ref/Novel|TTW|Page=114}} Eventually, however, the ''Unflinching Resolve'' suffered a direct hit and crash landed. Despite being caught off-guard it appeared as though the Arbiter would be victorious, however, news spread that he allowed humans to land on Sanghelios; this caused many keeps to ally with the Servants of Abiding Truth and the tide turned in their favor. | Following the [[Voi Memorial|end]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2553#March|March 2553]], an attempted [[Jiralhanae]] insurrection in [[Ontom]] led [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth, to the decision for an immediate assault on the state of [[Vadam]] against the newly formed [[Swords of Sanghelios]].

At some point in late 2558, the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] launched an assault on Hesduros with the intent of killing 'Mdama and destroying his Covenant for good. The offensive devastated multiple redoubts, including Panom Keep, but Jul was able to escape. The defeat did force his faction to abandon Hesduros entirely, however. {{Ref/Novel|Id=LoO5|LoO|Chapter=5}} | |||

On [[2558#October|October 27, 2558]], the remnants of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] [[Battle of Nuusra|attacked]] the [[Elder Council Chamber]] in [[Nuusra]] on Sanghelios in an attempt to kill [[Thel 'Vadam]]. As their forces attacked, other assets on the planet rose up and Sanghelios burst into a worldwide conflict.{{Ref/Reuse|loochapt21}} Heavy fighting took place in most of the planet's [[city|city-states]].{{Ref/Reuse|osfm95}} At the same time, due to the need to find [[Blue Team]], [[Fireteam Osiris]] was sent to [[Sanghelios]] to enlist Thel's help to use the [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]] on the planet to follow Blue Team.

Osiris aided Thel's forces in clearing out the anti-air defenses so that Thel's ships could move in and fought their way through the city to reach the [[Guardian]] before it could launch. With the help of Halsey and [[Sarah Palmer]], Osiris succeeded in boarding the Guardian before it launched into [[slipspace]] though they had to face [[Promethean]]s and the [[Warden Eternal]] first.{{Ref/Level|Id=Sunaion|H5G|[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]}} Having previously witnessed the launch of a Guardian,{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Evacuation]]}} Locke warned Thel to move his ships back as the construct would release a series of concussive blasts before making the jump. As a result, 'Mdama's Covenant would take the brunt of the blasts instead which could be used by the Swords to their advantage. This tactic succeeded with much of 'Mdama's Covenant's ships knocked out by the final blast as the Guardian jumped to [[Genesis]]. | ||
