Prior to the Covenant's formation, the [[Sangheili]] mined ''kemuksuru'' from Suban, and grew to believe that even rudimentary scientific investigation into the crystals was tantamount to heresy. When they first began to incorporate the crystals into weaponry, the Sangheili knew how to manipulate and weaponize the crystal, but they lacked deeper understanding of its properties.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p294}} The pre-Covenant weapons were unique, though their designs demonstrated the Sangheili’s poor understanding of the crystals, and further study on these designs were mostly abandoned until the dissolution of the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} | Prior to the Covenant's formation, the [[Sangheili]] mined ''kemuksuru'' from Suban, and grew to believe that even rudimentary scientific investigation into the crystals was tantamount to heresy.
