The battle drew the attention of the Created, but the three sides managed to escape before any serious Created forces could arrive. Recognizing that the weapon was far too dangerous for either of their species to ever use, [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Olympia Vale]] gave it to [[Atriox]] in the hopes that the Banished would destroy themselves with it instead.{{Ref/Novel|Out}} | In [[2559#November|November 2559]], the UNSC, the Swords of Sanghelios and the Banished all [[Battle of Netherop (2559)|sought]] a [[Divine Hand|superweapon]] on [[Netherop]] that was used by [[Precursor]] fugitives to destroy a Guardian during the [[Forerunner-Precursor war]].

Sloan also utilized some of the Assembly's nomenclature, such as the terms Majority and Minority, to better suit the Created’s own evolving structure and to restore some order and central authority in the coalition. The Created Majority were made up of those who willingly pledged themselves to Cortana’s service, while the Minority were those who have joined the Created but do not share the goals of empire that Cortana decreed. Using Executors outfitted with the MERROW-class helmet, Sloan tracked down non-Created AIs in hiding and tried to convince them to join the Minority with the promise of immortality and no loss of autonomy.
