{{Main|Thar's faction}}
On the former [[human]] outer colony of [[Carrow]], now [[Joint Occupation Zone|jointly-held]] between humans and [[Sangheili]], a sea change in governance has come to [[Rak]], the foremost Sangheili habitation on the planet. In [[2558]], an individual known as [[Thars]] took power. Thars is utterly opposed to peace with humans and believes that sharing Carrow with them is impossible. Those loyal to him began to attack humans here and there, but it wasn't until July of 2558 that the first one was killed and hostilities between his group and the [[Carrow militia]] erupted.<ref>''[[Halo: Fractures]]'', ''[[Oasis]]''</ref>
