'''Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant loyalists''' | '''Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant loyalists'''{{Ref/Note|In ''Sacrifice'', these soldiers are only ever referred to as Covenant forces; this name is applied here to help differentiate from actual Covenant-era soldiers from prior to the empire's fall}} are a faction of [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers that had been assigned as part of the crew of the [[Keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' during the final weeks of [[2552]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=FactionName1|DW|Chapter=4}} Following the [[Covenant]] empire's fall during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], these soldiers remained inside the Keyship to defend it from intruders, and remained vigilant in their duties and [[Covenant religion|beliefs]] long after the death of the [[High Prophet of Truth]] and the firing of [[Installation 08]] which they managed to survive.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Sacrifice|HSoR|Detail= Adjunct - [[Sacrifice]]}} Led by the [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], they seek to continue the mission of the Covenant, although in secret Bhasvod's goal is to restore the [[San'Shyuum]] to power in the galaxy once again.{{Ref/Reuse|DW17}} | ||

Under the leadership of [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], the Covenant loyalists allied with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] when they arrive on the Ark in [[2559#October|October 2559]] seeking to fire the [[Halo Array]] and begin the Great Journey. Aided by the Forerunner [[archeon-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]], the Keepers and the loyalists nearly succeed in their mission, but they were ultimately foiled by the Banished and the UNSC. In the process, [[Castor]] learned the truth about the Halos and broke off his alliance with the loyalists as the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} launched an [[orbital bombardment]] that destroyed [[Epsilon Clarion]] and Intrepid Eye. The battle wiped out the Keepers completely aside from Castor and [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]], while the only survivor of the loyalist forces that took part in the engagement consisted of Bhasvod.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} However, the damage that Bhasvod took prevented him from recovering the crystal shards that the Banished had stolen from the loyalists and thus kept him from opening a portal to [[Cloister]] to warn [[Jom G'e'qth]] that their plan had failed.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW17|DW|Chapter=17}} | Under the leadership of [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], the Covenant loyalists allied with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] when they arrive on the Ark in [[2559#October|October 2559]] seeking to fire the [[Halo Array]] and begin the Great Journey.

Following their defeat, Bhasvod and his forces retreated back to their base at ''Anodyne Spirit''.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=247}} Since then, they have begun to rally their forces with the intention of making another attempt to retake the slipspace crystal shard that was stolen from them, and thus reach Cloister - though are awaiting a suitable opportunity to do so.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=249}} | |||
