===Hunt for the Divine Hand===
{{Expand-section}}
{{Main|Battle of Netherop (2559)}}
Learning of a weapon on [[Netherop]] that had once destroyed a [[Guardian]], the UNSC, the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the [[Banished]] attempted to recover it, encountering UNSC and [[Covenant]] forces that had been left trapped on the planet since the [[Battle of Netherop]] in [[2526]]. After eliminating most of [[Worldmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]'s forces and capturing Nizat and [[Tam 'Lakosee]], the UNSC and the Swords of Sanghelios discovered that the weapon, the [[Divine Hand]], was [[Precursor]] technology that Precursor fugitives had used to defend themselves against attack during the [[Forerunner-Precursor war]]. After seeing the devastating power of the weapon for themselves and with the [[Created]] on their way, the UNSC and the Swords of Sanghelios handed the Divine Hand over to [[Atriox]], hoping that the Banished would destroy themselves attempting to use it, although [[Keely Iyuska]] took samples of the weapon's nanomachines that would be turned over to ONI for study. All three factions evacuated the planet before a Created fleet sent by [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] could arrive. Nizat and Tam, the last survivors of Nizat's forces, were left marooned once again to die with the alien structure having stopped functioning completely after the [[vacuum energy condenser]] was removed. Facing an inevitable death from infection, starvation, or dehydration, Tam chose to mercy kill Nizat to spare him that fate, ending the threat of one of UNSC's earliest and most dangerous Covenant enemies once and for all.{{Ref/Novel|Out}}
