'''Malurok''' ('''Decided Heart''' in [[English]]) is a former [[Covenant]] [[planet]], jointly-held between the [[Sangheili]] and [[Yanme'e]] populations that have resided there for centuries.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} | |||
==Overview== | |||
===Topography and ecology=== | |||
From a cursory examination, Malurok's surface appears inhospitable. It is a harsh world featuring a number of barren atolls.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg10}} Beneath the surface, however, are labyrinthine cities and elaborate halls that house millions in comfort.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} Large urban areas and [[keep]]s also exist on the surface.{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} A significant portion of Malurok is covered by water and a species of aquatic ray-like creature brought by [[Sangheili]] to multiple worlds can be found swimming in it.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder}} | |||

==History== | |||
===Covenant era=== | |||
Malurok was settled in the early years of the Covenant{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg233|Enc22|Page=233}} by [[Sangheili]] [[kaidon]]s and [[Yanme'e]] [[Yanme'e Queen|hive queen]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} | |||
Since then, these two groups have managed their own affairs though the empire did make use of the [[Sangheili colonies|colony]]. Many [[cycle]]s prior to [[2525]], [[Unggoy]] on Malurok attempted to secede from the Covenant. Later known as the [[Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience]]. This rebellion was quashed in a matter of days by a strike force led by [[Ripa 'Moramee]], a Malurok native. 'Moramee demonstrated his ability once more when a [[Kig-Yar]] [[pirate]] prince named [[Krith]] seized some amount of power on the planet only to have his reign ended by him. Shortly following the defeat of Krith, 'Moramee attempted a coup against his own kaidon in the state of [[Moram]]. He failed to murder the leadership of the [[clan]] and for this he was tried and imprisoned at [[Weeping Shadows of Sorrow]]. He was also due to be executed after one cycle had passed but he was spared this fate by being made an [[Arbiter]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=GEN|[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]}} | |||
===Post-war=== | |||
After the Covenant [[Great Schism|tore itself apart]] in late [[2552]], Malurok's governing entities finally were free to be truly independent polities.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} However, the planet did briefly enter a [[Blooding Years|period of civil conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg233}} | |||
During the [[Created uprising]], the Created enforced a peace that would result in a detente between the warring factions.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg233}} | |||

Malurok is governed by independent Sangheili kaidons and Yanme'e hive queens. Before the undoing of the Covenant it was considered one of its primary worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|evg10}}{{Ref/Book|Id=H4VIS|H4EVG|Page=29}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=139}}{{Ref/Site|Id=covenant|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Factions|Page=Covenant|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant.html}} The [[hierarch]]s used Malurok to gather, train, and equip legions of troops as well as fleets of ships. In addition, the world was home to a good number of fortresses which still remain standing, which caused it to be recognized as a military base itself. The bureaucrats on ''[[High Charity]]'' were never able to find fault with the quality or quantity of the planet's tithes despite the independent sentiments expressed by its leaders.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} Sangheili that were found guilty by a court of committing heinous crimes could be sentenced to imprisonment and execution through extended and punitive means.{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} | |||
===Economy=== | |||
Malurok is known as a world characterized by industry.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} Following the collapse of the Covenant, [[Malurok Armory]] manufactured {{Pattern|Mikpramu|Phantom}}s, as the dropships were sought by both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].{{Ref/Site|Id=canon fodder|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-designs-of-the-times|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=News, Canon Fodder|Page=Designs of the Times|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-designs-of-the-times.html}} | |||
===Culture=== | |||
Though first settled by Sangheili and Yanme'e, eventually at least two other species, [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]], resided on Malurok while the Covenant was in control.{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} The kaidons and hive queens on the planet were proud to the point of insolence when they were still Covenant subjects. In its absence, their ambitions have been unleashed.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The name of the colony is similar to that of the Yanme'e homeworld, [[Palamok]], reflecting its co-settlement by the species.{{Ref/Game|H3|[[Bestiarum]]}} | |||
*Malurok may be home to the [[Vassal Workshops of Clan Makan and Clan Vol]], given that Parg Vol was born there. | |||
