Template:Battle The Battle of the prototype Halo installation was a battle between the forces of the Swords of Sanghelios and Tem'Bhetek's faction at a prototype Halo installation in a hidden sector of the galaxy.

Prelude

During the Fall of High Charity, the Minister of Preparation, Boru'a'Neem, convinced Prelate Tem'Bhetek that his family was lost and got him to abandon the city without trying to save them. 'Bhetek subsequently blamed their deaths on Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum who had part of High Charity glassed in a failed effort to contain the Flood. However, unknown to 'Bhetek, 'Vadum had only glassed the city after it was clear that it had fallen to the Flood and had first tried saving any San'Shyuum he could without success. As a result, Preparation had lied to 'Bhetek to get him to abandon the city and his family had most likely been alive at the time.

Enraged by 'Vadum's apparent culpability in the death of his family, 'Bhetek formed a faction led by himself and Preparation and made up of Yaman'e and Jiralhanae, plotting to use the Prototype Halo installation located in a hidden sector of the galaxy against the Sangheili. Unknown to 'Bhetek, Preparation had his own plans, intending to use the CAS-class assault carrier Shadow of Intent's reactors to power the installation to wipe out Sanghelios and all life in its star system. To this end, 'Bhetek attacked Rahnelo and captured the kaidon and his two sons to test the installation with.

'Bhetek later ambushed the Shadow of Intent with his CRS-class light cruiser Spear of Light above Duraan with the intent of capturing the carrier and exacting revenge on 'Vadum. However, 'Bhetek was wounded and captured while his Jiralhanae forces were wiped out. From the captured Spear of Light's navigational database, 'Vadum and his crew were able to track 'Bhetek's base back to the installation in the hidden sector though he refused to tell them what was there. 'Vadum revealed the truth about what happened when High Charity fell, planting doubt into 'Bhetek's mind about Preparation's truthfulness. Before making a slipspace jump to the hidden sector, 'Vadum had most of his crew disembark to Duraan so as not to risk their lives.[1]
