San'Shyuum flotilla

During the Fall of High Charity in 2552, a flotilla of San'Shyuum evacuees were able to flee the besieged city in an effort organised by a group including the prelate Dhas Bhasvod, and disguised by the launch of Anodyne Spirit during the battle. The evacuees intended to flee to the shield world of Cloister, where they would be safe from the firing of the Halo Array by the High Prophet of Truth and be able to rebuild galactic civilisation in the San'Shyuum image. Ultimately, the High Prophet's plan was foiled during the Battle of Installation 00. The flotilla remained in hiding to avoid the wrath of vengeful Sangheili. By late 2553, Tem'Bhetek and Boru'a'Neem departed from the flotilla and took a contingent of Jiralhanae to strike against the Sangheili, in a plot to genocide their homeworld with a prototype Halo installation. After Rtas 'Vadum foiled 'Bhetek's plan in their encounter, he intended to take the Shadow of Intent to hunt down the flotilla, though the eventual status of this effort is unknown.

By 2559, the flotilla's current status was unknown to Bhasvod, who had been trapped on the Ark for seven years, and had been completely unheard of by his temporary ally Castor - who suspected that had the Banished known of the flotilla, they would have expended all of their resources trying to hunt it down. Ultimately, Bhasvod intended to activate the rings regardless, in the knowledge that either the flotilla would survive inside the shield world, or those who had hunted them down would have the ultimate revenge inflicted upon them.
