Duraan was colonized by the [[Sangheili]] "three generations" prior to [[2553]], settling along the shores of the seas. Even though the planet was only partially habitable, the relative rarity of even a half-habitable world as well as the planet's wide-open spaces appealed to minor Sangheili [[clan]]s whose ambitions were constrained by limited access to land on the Sangheili core worlds.

During one of [[Covenant]] [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]]'s many training missions, his {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} ''[[Spear of Light]]'' traveled to Duraan, where the planet's [[Duraan's red dwarf star|unstable star]] emitted solar interference that caused the cruiser's [[energy shielding]] to deplete. The Prelate took note of this, and sought to apply it in the future.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoI51|Halo: Shadow of Intent|Page=51 (Google Play edition)}} | ||

In 2553, the Prelate [[Ambush at Duraan|lured]] [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]'s {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' to Duraan as part of his trap to enact revenge against the Sangheili. When the carrier arrived in the system, the Prelate had ''Spear of Light'' begin bombarding settlements on Duraan. As ''Shadow of Intent'' moved to stop the cruiser, Duraan's unstable sun depleted the carrier's shields and disrupted its [[plasma]] weaponry. ''Spear of Light'' moved close towards ''Shadow of Intent'', and the Prelate led his forces in a [[boarding]] mission aboard the carrier in an effort to take ''Shadow of Intent'' for himself. However, the Prelate and his [[Jiralhanae]] forces were defeated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoI44|Halo: Shadow of Intent|Page=44-49 (Google Play edition)}} After 'Vadum put an end to the Prelate's plan, the crew of ''Shadow of Intent'' rested and recovered on Duraan.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoI81|Halo: Shadow of Intent|Page=81 (Google Play edition)}} | In 2553, the Prelate [[Ambush at Duraan|lured]] [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]'s {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' to Duraan as part of his trap to enact revenge against the Sangheili.
