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 rai, 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]
