Defying the tenuous [[Treaty of 2552|peace]] between humanity and the Arbiter's [[Swords of Sanghelios]], representing the majority of the Sangheili, several Sangheili-led factions—mainly religious cultists—once again rose to oppose humanity soon after the end of the war. In [[2554]], the planet of [[Draetheus V]] was [[Battle of Draetheus V|attacked]] by [[Merg Vol's Covenant|a faction of Covenant cultists]] led by [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] [[Merg Vol]]. This group was eventually stopped by UNSC forces and Merg Vol was executed by [[Spartan Operations|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]]. In [[2557]], [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] [[First Battle of Requiem|engaged UNSC forces]], including their flagship ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'', at [[Requiem]]. During these events, [[Ur-Didact|the Didact]] was awakened and soon joined forces with the Covenant, although he was eventually [[New Phoenix Incident|defeated]] by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] over [[Earth]], and shortly after in the [[Composer's Forge]]. After the Didact's apparent death, control over his mechanical [[Promethean]] armies passed on to 'Mdama. Six months later, the UNSC again contested the occupying Covenant forces in the [[Requiem Campaign]], ending in the shield world's destruction at the hands of 'Mdama.<ref name="departure">'''Spartan Ops''', S1E1 ''Departure''</ref> | Defying the tenuous [[Treaty of 2552|peace]] between humanity and the Arbiter's [[Swords of Sanghelios]], representing the majority of the Sangheili, several Sangheili-led factions—mainly religious cultists—once again rose to oppose humanity soon after the end of the war. Not long after peace was established in [[2553]], [[Tem'Bhetek's faction|a faction]] led by [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]] and Minister of Preparation [[Boru'a'Neem]] sought to destroy Sanghelios and all life in its system using a [[Prototype Halo installation]]. This plan was foiled by the crew of the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', resulting in the dissolution of the faction.
