The '''Siege at Konaar''' was the first of many assaults on the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadam]] and his supporters following the [[Voi Memorial|end]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref>'''Halo: Mythos''', page ''144''</ref> In [[2553#March|March of 2553]], an attempted [[Jiralhanae]] insurrection in [[Ontom]] led [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth, to the decision for an immediate assault on the state of [[Vadam]]. Along with nine ships and forces from [[Nuan keep]] and [[Rtova keep]], 'Telcam commanded the assault from the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] ''[[Unflinching Resolve]]''.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 114''</ref> Eventually, however, the ''Unflinching Resolve'' suffered a direct hit and crash landed. Despite being caught off-guard it appeared as though the Arbiter would be victorious, however, news spread that he allowed humans to land on Sanghelios; this caused many keeps to ally with the Servants of Abiding Truth and the tide turned in their favor. The Arbiter was caught off guard and when his own reinforcements couldn't arrive on time, he reluctantly accepted [[Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]]'s offer for help in fending off the attackers.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 238''</ref> The tide turned when the UNSC's new flagship, ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'', arrived over Sanghelios and destroyed the rebel destroyer ''[[Defender of Faith]]'' before finishing off the rebel ground forces with a [[MAC]] round.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 302''</ref> The {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}, posed as a [[Kig-Yar]] pirate ship, destroyed a few of 'Vadam's ships in order to maintain the stalemate between the two factions, granting the Arbiter a Pyrrhic victory.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 330''</ref> | |||
After the battle 'Vadam entered talks to board ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 405''</ref> The remnants of the Servants of the Abiding Truth escaped to [[New Llanelli]] to regroup. One month later 'Telcam said he would remain on New Llanelli until he convinced more keeps to join his cause or get enough ships to destroy those who refuse.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 122''</ref> | After the battle 'Vadam entered talks to board ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 405''</ref> The remnants of the Servants of the Abiding Truth escaped to [[New Llanelli]] to regroup.
