History[edit]

Second Ark Conflict[edit]

Main article: Second Ark Conflict

Forces of the Lance of the Writhing Star were a part of the expeditionary force assembled by Atriox and brought to the Ark aboard the Syfon-pattern assault carrier, Enduring Conviction. By mid-2559, a force of Writhing Star warriors led by Zeretus were ordered to investigate the resting site of the Supernal Spiral-class keyship, Anodyne Spirit - with the aims of securing a slipspace crystal to open a slipspace portal back into the Milky Way.[3]

During the raid, the forces encountered a contingent of remnant Covenant loyalist troops led by the Prelate, Dhas Bhasvod. A skirmish erupted and caused the group considerable losses, though they were able to escape with their objectives achieved.[3]

With their successful (albeit costly) mission at Anodyne Spirit achieved, Captain Zeretus was chosen by Atriox to accompany him to Reach as a part of the Exodus Guard, and later on Zeta Halo.[4] During the Battle for Zeta Halo, Zeretus would meet his end at the hands of the Master Chief.[5]
