 ===Human-Covenant War===
-During the 30 years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Honor Guard didn't see much combat up until [[2552]], at the [[Battle of Installation 05]].
 Between 2542 and 2552, the Honor Guard were charged with defending a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Lesser Prophet]] on a [[Heian|Covenant-controlled planet]] that served as a major logistics base. Unfortunately for them, a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] infiltrated the planet and sniped the Prophet from a distance of two miles before the Honor Guard could intervene.<ref>'''[[Halo Legends]]''', ''[[The Babysitter]]''</ref>
 On [[2552|October 20th, 2552]], Covenant [[Covenant Army|Ground]] and [[Covenant Navy|Naval]] forces invaded [[Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref> The [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] and his fleet came to Earth to find [[Installation 00|The Ark]],<ref>'''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]''', ''[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]'', ''page 95''</ref> a facility where they could fire all of the [[Halo Array|Halo Installations]] and complete [[The Great Journey]]. Being pursued by [[United Nations Space Command]] forces, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' escaped by going into [[slipstream space|slipspace]] in [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Metropolis]]''</ref>
-When they arrived on [[Installation 05]], Regret and his [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Sangheili Honor Guardsmen]] went to a temple in the middle of a lake near the [[Quarantine Zone]] of the [[Library]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]''</ref>
+When they arrived on [[Installation 05]], Regret and his [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Sangheili Honor Guardsmen]] stationed themselves at a temple in the middle of a lake near the [[Quarantine Zone]] of the [[Library]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]''</ref>
-Much to the Prophet's surprise, the [[Human]]s followed him to the ring world. There, forces led by [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] tried to capture or kill the [[Prophet of Regret]].
-And a few hours later, SPARTAN John-117 and a few [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] initiated an assault on the temple. The Sangheili Honor Guardsmen fought furiously to protect their Prophet from the SPARTAN, though they were overpowered this allowed for the Human to kill the Prophet of Regret.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campiagn level, ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> However, it is revealed later that the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] refused to send Regret reinforcements, thus letting the Master Chief kill the Covenant Hierarch, and discrediting the Sangheili at the same time. By doing this, Truth killed two birds with one stone, he eliminated any struggle for power that Regret may spark within the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and discredited the Sangheili simultaneously.
+Much to the Prophet's surprise, the human vessel ''[[In Amber Clad]]'' followed him to the Installation. The UNSC forces aboard, led by [[Miranda Keyes]], initiated an assault on the temple with the intent of capturing or killing the Prophet. SPARTAN-II John-117 led the attack, infiltrating the temple and entering the Prophet's chamber. The Sangheili Honor Guardsmen fought furiously to protect the Hierarch, but ultimately could not prevent John-117 from killing the Prophet of Regret.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref>
