In [[2560]], a battle erupted around the crystal mines on the moon of [[Suban]] between the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the [[Banished]] with [[fleet]]s from both factions engaged in the moon's sky.{{Ref/Site|Id=MOS5|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=MAPS OVERVIEW - SEASON 5|D=13|M=10|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Launch|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/combined-arms-operation-launch|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Combined Arms Operation Launch|D=14|M=11|Y=2023}} The Banished sought to raid the Subanese crystal mines on the moon in order to use them for needle weaponry.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Cfflyme}}  

While many of the keeps and kaidons on Sanghelios remained steadfast in their support of the Arbiter and his attempts to unify the Sangheili, others allied themselves with the [[Banished]], allowing them access to the Urs system. Eventually, a Banished fleet attacked the moon of [[Suban]], seeking to claim its blamite crystal mines.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} The [[Alchemist Corps]] of [[Sicatt Workshop]] aboard the ''[[Ghost of Barolon]]'' would begin to study the crystals themselves.{{Ref/Site|Id=Cfflyme|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fly-me-to-the-blood-moon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Games|Page=Canon Fodder: Fly Me to the Blood-Moon|D=20|M=11|Y=2023}}

In early 2560, the [[Sanghelios home defense fleet]] positioned themselves at Suban and began scanning Banished fleet elements including the ''Ghost of Barolon''. Simultaneously, Swords of Sanghelios [[D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] were deployed to the surface of Suban to destroy [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]]s carrying raw [[Kemuksuru]] as a distraction, while [[Fahl 'Nto]], a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], and two [[Spartan]]s set up positions at the [[Mines of Shua'ree]]. As expected, the resulting explosions of the Blamite crystals in the siege haulers confused the occupying forces within the mines, giving [[Dahks]] and Spartan [[Trell]] an opening to begin picking them off. [[Swords of Sanghelios]] reinforcements quickly arrived aboard a Phantom along with the rest of [[Fireteam Jorogumo]], all led by [[Orim 'Kassan]], and joined the recon team in sweeping through the mines while slaughtering the Banished forces stationed there. However, Chieftain [[Ipso]] arrived in the middle of the battle and managed to take down 'Nto, leading Spartan [[Glyyss]] to jump in front the Hammer strike meant for the Elite, sacrificing himself in the process. After Ipso was chased away by phantom fire, the other Spartans managed to grab Glyyss' body. In the wake of their missions deterioration, the remaining Spartans and the rest of the Swords forces retreated aboard 'Kassan's Phantom, with N'to vowing to return.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
