When a [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]] was discovered in the [[Csurdon Sea]] by dive-hunters and fishing skiffs, ancient [[Sangheili]] [[elder]]s established stone fortresses along the [[Nuusra]] coastlines to observe and protect the immense construct that they deemed sacred. Centuries later, Sunaion was built as a temple city over the water near the Guardian, as the Sangheili recognized that the construct belonged to their gods, the Forerunners.<ref name="universe"/> | |||

When the [[Covenant]] was established, the empire initially used Sunaion as an operating base while they explored and worshiped the Guardian. Despite the Covenant's efforts, little could be done to explore the construct nor could they determine its true purpose. During most of the Covenant's rule on Sanghelios, Sunaion remained largely empty, even during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. After the Covenant War and the empire's fall, Sunaion remained largely [[neutral]] in the resulting [[Blooding Years|civil war]] that engulfed much of Sanghelios.<ref name="universe"/> | |||

[[ | Sometime by [[2558]], Sunaion became viewed as an optimal staging point by [[kaidon]]s seeking to overthrow [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and his [[Swords of Sanghelios]]; the city allowed quick access to the shores of [[Yermo]] that led to the state of [[Vadam]]. When [[Jul 'Mdama]] learned of this, he had [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|his forces]] take control of the city while he began formulating plans to invade Vadam. The Arbiter learned of 'Mdama's intents and quickly established a forward operating base in the ruins of Nuusra, where the Swords of Sanghelios prepared to attack 'Mdama's Covenant.<ref name="universe"/> Soon, an [[Battle of Sunaion|engagement]] between the joint forces of the Swords of Sanghelios, the [[United Nations Space Command]] and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant. [[Fireteam Osiris]], led by [[Jameson Locke]], took part in the operation and aided the Swords against Jul 'Mdama's forces. It was considered the last stronghold of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction on Sanghelios. While aiding the Swords in capturing the city, Fireteam Osiris sought out John-117 and the Guardian he was searching for. However, they were soon blocked from going further by the [[Warden Eternal]]<ref>'''E3 2015''', ''Halo 5: Guardians demo''</ref> | ||
