{{Quote|If you wish to follow the Covenant, then leave here now! For myself—I will not surrender to the [[San'Shyuum]]! Nor will anyone loyal to my clan! And do not be deceived—the tale that this is alliance and not meek surrender is a lie! What is a Sangheili but his honor? His honor is equal to his soul, and his soul to his honor! We cannot submit to the Covenant. It is better to die than to live without dignity.|[[Ussa 'Xellus]] delivering a speech at his [[Xellus keep|keep]].{{Ref/Reuse|chapter1}}}} | |||
The '''Rending''' was an insurrection sparked by [[Ussa 'Xellus]] in [[851 BCE]]{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=192}} against both the Writ of Union and the Covenant at large.{{Ref/Novel|Id=chapter15|BC|Chapter=15}} | |||

Inner Conviction attempted to reason with [[Ussa 'Xellus]] and offered to aid in guaranteeing his people's freedom if he allowed himself and [[Sooln 'Xellus|his mate]] to be tried before the Covenant, and likely executed. However, Ussa was not assured that his followers would ever be able to be allowed to return to [[Sanghelios]] alive. | Inner Conviction attempted to reason with [[Ussa 'Xellus]] and offered to aid in guaranteeing his people's freedom if he allowed himself and [[Sooln 'Xellus|his mate]] to be tried before the Covenant, and likely executed.

The Ussans continued to inhabit the disparate components of the shield world until [[2553]], when they were discovered by a group of Sangheili-led Covenant fleeing ''[[High Charity]]''.
