In [[2553]], two hiding San'Shyuum had many Jiralhanae forces working for them. The two San'Shyuum: [[Boru'a'Neem]] and [[Prelate of High Charity|Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]], sought revenge against the Sangheili species for the destruction of [[High Charity]] and the Covenant Empire. 'Bhetek's family was killed in the [[Flood]] [[Battle of High Charity|invasion]] of High Charity, and he held [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and the [[Fleet of Retribution]] responsible for it. | In [[2553]], two hiding San'Shyuum had many Jiralhanae forces working for them.

There was some overlap between the internal Sangheili conflicts and the internal Jiralhanae conflicts. During his rebellion against his cousin [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] on [[Carrow]], [[Thars 'Sarov]] made a deal with the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] for his help in the [[Battle of Carrow]]. However, this proved to be a grave mistake as Hekabe's real plan was to gain access to the [[Sharquoi]] hive beneath the city of [[Suraka]] and use the hundreds of thousands of creatures held there to destroy his enemies. During the beginning of the Great Schism, Hekabe had used the power the Jiralhanae had been granted by the High Prophets to find the ''[[vertex]]'' on [[Installation 00]] during the battle there, the ''vertex'' being the device that would allow him to control the Sharquoi. During the battle, Hekabe's fleet was destroyed by the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]], including his flagship the {{Class|ORS|heavy cruiser}} ''[[Foebane]]'', but Hekabe was undaunted. With the help of [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]], Thars was killed by Rojka while Hekabe's plot was defeated. Hekabe was killed by Sharquoi under the control of human governor [[Ellis Gass]] who then destroyed the Sharquoi hive and all of the Sharquoi on Carrow with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Envoy]]'''</ref> | |||
