A former Sangheili [[Shipmaster]] seeking [[Asylum seeker|asylum]] provided useful intel of the Sharquoi to the [[UNSC]] by replicating [[Covenant murals]] for them in hand-drawn sketches. Later the UNSC and the Sangheili crew of an ex-Covenant destroyer were able to [[Operation: POLECAT|locate]] on a remote world the Sharquoi hive once controlled by the [[Prophets]]. During the mission ONI personnel accidentally released a single Sharquoi that resulted in the death of 50 out of the 100 [[ODSTs]] that had been deployed. The hive was subsequently razed with [[nuclear weapon]]s and then [[glassed]] by the destroyer.<ref name="Envoy187/189"/> | While many former Covenant members believed the Sharquoi's status after the war was unknown<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-feet-first '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Feet First'']</ref> at least two hives had remained untouched by the Covenant.

During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in late [[2552]], the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] had managed to find the ''[[vertex]]'' using the distraction of the arrival of [[High Charity]] and the spread of the [[Flood]]. However, it took Hekabe six years to understand the writings that came with the device and use it to locate the Sharquoi hive on [[Carrow]] which had hundreds of thousands of the creatures. By using the Sharquoi on Carrow against the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]] and the Sangheili, Hekabe planned rule over that world and then eventually others as well. Hekabe was able to take advantage of [[Thars 'Sarov]] calling him in for help to excavate the Forerunner structure and awaken thousands of Sharquoi under his control through the ''vertex''. After his ships [[Carrow Conflict|were destroyed]], Hekabe captured human freighters that were not slipspace-capable and used them to capture Thars' grounded ships to use the Sharquoi to attack the worlds of his enemies. | During the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in late [[2552]], the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] had managed to find the ''[[vertex]]'' using the distraction of the arrival of [[High Charity]] and the spread of the [[Flood]].
