Sangheili-Jiralhanae war: Difference between revisions

At the start of the war, some fanatical Sangheili embarked upon a genocidal campaign hunting down and killing all Jiralhanae they came across. One radical group of Sangheili were the [[Silent Shadow]] squad under the command of [[Resa 'Azavayl]], fueled by vengeance they sought to slaughter any Jiralhanae they encountered. They had wiped out Jiralhanae forces and their subordinates on an armory near [[Victors' Truth]], the [[Covenant corvette|Corvette]] ''[[Adherent]]'', the northern highlands of [[Thalia]], and a substation orbiting [[Sansar|Sansar.]] 'Azavayl's Silent Shadow squad even eradicated the former [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]] [[Tartarus|Tartarus']] crew aboard the [[Covenant cruiser|CCS-Cruiser]] ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''.<ref name="Slipspace">'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''' - ''[[Hunting Party]]''</ref>

The Silent Shadow squad went to attack the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Elegy's Lament]]'', but they were unaware that it was lead by [[Atriox]] and the [[Banished]]. After killing several Jiralhanae forces, the Silent Shadow squad encountered Atriox who tried to talk to them into a peaceful resolution. Atriox offered to hire the Sangheili and claimed he had no affiliation to the Jiralhanae responsible for massacring the Sangheili during the Great Schism.<ref>'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''' - ''[[Hunting Party]]'' "I am not Tartarus or some fanatic. I am not Truth. I am not Regret. I am their remedy.", Atriox</ref> As a result, the Silent Shadow Squad began to view Atriox as "other".<ref>[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]] - [[Hunting Party]] - "Agreed. Atriox is of a kind with our enemies, but he is OTHER, and an ally worth considering.", Silent Shadow squad Sangheili</ref> Despite this, 'Azavayl was not forgiving of Atriox and tried to kill him. Before he could attack Atriox, 'Azavayl's own Silent Shadow squad betrayed him and stabbed him with their [[energy swords]]. The remaining members of the Silent Shadow squad remarked that old hatreds were holding them back from a better future, and were then recruited into the Banished as mercenaries.
