==History==

===Post-war===

Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Sangheili, lacking a centralized government, were thrown into political turmoil, ultimately resulting in [[Blooding Years|civil war]]. While some colonies, like [[Hesduros]], would join the [[Covenant remnants]], most colonies like [[Duraan]], [[Khael'mothka]] and [[Rahnelo]] joined with Sanghelios under [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s new [[Swords of Sanghelios]], fighting off the other remnant groups and the [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Catalog|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Catalog Interaction - Page 14}} The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] found it difficult to track the true extent of the Sangheili colonial sphere and the military growth present in the dozens of active Sangheili colonial polities, particularly due to their differing political structures.<ref>''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]'' - Report 2</ref>

Just days after [[Treaty of 2552|a tentative peace treaty]] was formed between the [[Fleet of Retribution|group]] that would become the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the UEG, the Sangheili colony of [[Glyke]] was mysteriously destroyed, killing billions. Rumors had it that the colony's destruction was either an internal conflict or a [[Jiralhanae]] retaliation, but in truth it was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Gray Team]] with a [[NOVA bomb]] as part of [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]], an effort to strike a blow at a major enemy world to try to cause the Covenant to reconsider. Having last heard that [[Earth]] was under attack, Gray Team were unaware of the war's end due to damaged deep-space communications equipment and thus that their mission was no longer necessary. When Gray Team resurfaced in [[2558]], [[Thel 'Vadam]] agreed to pardon the three Spartans for the action instead of trying them as [[war criminal]]s for genocide as part of a deal [[ONI]] offered to have Gray Team join an interspecies strike force operating in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s.{{Ref/Novel|Novel=Halo: Envoy}}
