The Razing of Oth Sonin[7] was a Created attack on the Oth Sonin system, resulting in the destruction of the Jiralhanae homeworld Doisac and the devastation of its moons.[1][3]

Background[edit]

Banished dominance[edit]

Atriox's Banished had united the Jiralhanae clans across Doisac and its moons,[4] though there were clans, such as those on Warial, who refused to join the Banished,[3] as they considered the Banished to be too similar to the Covenant and were wary of any alliance that resembled the former empire.[3]

The Banished and its allied clans staged a defensive against the Created in their home system. They fought hard against Cortana's forces.[4]

Atriox himself having previously been on the Ark,[11] returned to the galaxy following the events of Operation: WOLFE and was preparing a force to head to Installation 07 to find the Xalanyn.[12][13]
