After the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]], a number of Stealth Sangheili joined a [[Merg Vol's Covenant|faction]] of the defunct Covenant Empire led by [[Sangheili Zealot]] [[Merg Vol]]. In [[2554]], this "new" Covenant [[Battle of Draetheus V|attacked]] the human research colony world of [[Draetheus V]] and its moon [[X50]]. As the battle raged on, Merg Vol discovered the true purpose of X50: the moon was actually a Forerunner installation capable of building and destroying planets. The cult leader was successful in activating X50's main weapon, beginning the process of dismantling Draetheus V. Covenant forces established a mile wide defense perimeter around the Forerunner structure from where Vol had activated the weapon. The UNSC realized that they would need to get combat technicians into the structure to disable the weapon. To protect the technicians, UNSC command had deployed snipers among the Marine reinforcements. These snipers would provide suppressing fire from the higher ground around the structure. However, the area they were deploying to was swarming with Stealth Sangheili. [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Edward Davis|Davis]] escorted several sniper teams to their locations, killing many Stealth Sangheili in the process.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Mission 14: Infiltration of the Covenant Perimeter|Infiltration of the Covenant Perimeter]]''</ref> | After the conclusion of the [[Human-Covenant War]], a number of Stealth Sangheili joined a [[Merg Vol's Covenant|faction]] of the defunct Covenant Empire led by [[Sangheili Zealot]] [[Merg Vol]].

Later in the battle, Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] and a group of Marines made their way through one of Draetheus V's forests, seeking out Covenant commander [[Parg Vol]]'s [[Phantom | Later in the battle, Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] and a group of Marines made their way through one of Draetheus V's forests, seeking out Covenant commander [[Parg Vol]]'s [[R'shwupa-pattern Phantom|personal transport]], of which Palmer would use to infiltrate Merg Vol's camp and slay the leader of the Covenant cultists. As the UNSC team advanced towards the Phantom, they were beset by a number of Stealth Sangheili, along with other Covenant forces that attempted to halt the humans process, to no avail. After Palmer located the Phantom gunboat, the Covenant launched an all out assault on her position, sending forth Stealth Sangheili, along with regular Sangheili infantry and even a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] but all of them fell to the Spartan, and Parg Vol's Phantom was secured.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 21: Hunt for the Phantom|Hunt for the Phantom]]''</ref> Before Palmer could take off, however, she had to bypass the security systems onboard the Phantom. To this end, a combat technician was brought in. While the technician worked, Palmer was forced to defend against a massive enemy assault force; Parg Vol had heard about the attempted theft of his personal transport, and sent all available Covenant forces to stop the humans. Under support fire from a platoon of [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], the Covenant launched a ferocious attack, sending waves of [[Unggoy]] at first, including [[Suicide Unggoy|suicide]] units. [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers were then sent in, followed by Sangheili, including many Stealth operatives and another Jiralhanae Chieftain. Despite the overwhelming odds, Palmer was able to hold the Covenant off long enough for the technician to bypass the security protocols, and they soon left for Merg Vol's camp.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 22: The Scorching of the Thicket|The Scorching of the Thicket]]''</ref> Ultimately Sarah Palmer would be successful in assaulting Merg Vol's camp, resulting in the death of the cult leader, and the fragmentation of his Covenant soon after.<ref>'''Halo: Spartan Assault''', ''[[Mission 25: Battle for the Moon|Battle for the Moon]]''</ref> | ||
