Thanks to the [[nanotechnology]] inside the [[ | Thanks to the [[nanotechnology]] inside the [[Sanctum of the Ancients]], Nizat and the [[Defenders of the Sanctum]] were able to survive on Netherop for thirty years - with some of the less disciplined warriors even becoming slightly overweight - due to an abundance of fruits and other edible (for Sangheili) flora grown inside the sanctum's agricultural grange. The fruits grown there included [[abbu]], [[banaq]]s, [[pek]]s, [[rishe]], and [[wuff]]. It is unclear whether these fruits were the result of the Precrusor nanotechnology growing fruit that the Sangheili occupants already knew from their own homeworlds, or whether it simply grew flora of its own creation. After the Divine Hand was stolen from the sanctum, the plant life in the sanctum almost immediately withered and the waters became poisoned.{{Ref/Novel|HOut|Chapter=25}} | ||
