==Overview== | |||
===Orbital characteristics=== | |||
Suban is the closer of the two [[Natural satellite|moon]]s orbiting [[Sanghelios]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sunrise}} The large sizes of both Suban and Qikost greatly affect the tides on Sanghelios.{{Ref/Novel|TCP|Page=90}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | |||

===Topography and ecology=== | |||
Suban's surface hosts [[water]]{{Ref/Book|Id=MiatistinaArt|Enc22|Page=230|Detail=[[Spire of Miatistina]] artwork}} and at least one jungle, at the crater of [[Kovokel]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg458|Enc22|Page=458}} The moon also features rocky, mountainous regions, some of which are the location of [[blamite]] mines.{{Ref/Map|Id=Prism|HINF|Prism}} Blamite is an exotic metastable crystal used to manufacture the ammunition for [[Needle-based weaponry]], such as the [[Needler]]. Suban is the only known location where blamite—also called "Subanese crystals"—can be found, with veins of blamite running throughout the moon's interior.{{Ref/Book|Id=blamite|EVG|Page=128}}<ref name="Needler">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/needler '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Needler'']</ref>{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P230|Enc22|Page=230}} | |||
Suban is home several species of indigenous fauna, including the [[qoerith slug]].{{Ref/Book|HM|Page=154}} While the [[Sangheili]] are indigenous to Sanghelios rather than Suban, the moon hosts several large Sangheili population centers, major industrial sites, and significant armories.{{Ref/Reuse|sanghelios}} | |||

==History== | |||
===The Former Age=== | |||
{{Main|The Former Age}} | |||
Prior to the formation of the [[Covenant]] between the [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]], Suban held significant religious importance for the Sangheili. Its [[Spire of Miatistina]] was fabled to serve as a spiritual convergence point between of the wills of the gods and their celestial counterparts [[Urs system|Urs]], [[Fied]], and [[Joori]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P231|Enc22|Page=231}} | |||
[[File:Enc22 SpireOfMiatistina.png|thumb|right|175px|The Spire of Miatistina.]] | |||
===War of Beginnings=== | |||
{{Main|War of Beginnings}} | |||
In [[938 BCE]], the San'Shyuum arrived at the Sangheili [[Sangheili colonies|colony]] world of [[Ulgethon]], an event that ultimately sparked a conflict between the two species that would last decades. At some point following [[876 BCE]], the San'Shyuum had brought their [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] to the [[Urs system]], ravaging [[Sanghelios]] and its [[Natural satellite|moon]]s. However, as the Sangheili had finally resolved to use their holy [[Forerunner]] weapons on their attackers out of desperation, they managed to bring the [[keyship]] down on Suban. There, the Sangheili kept it and the San'Shyuum within trapped for some time using [[gravity anchor]]s, debating whether they should simply destroy the vessel outright or risk breaching it to take it for themselves. Ultimately, following a coup among the San'Shyuum in the Dreadnought, an unarmed delegation was sent to the Sangheili in [[852 BCE]], and the two species forged a truce, leading to the formation of the Covenant.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P191|Enc22|Page=191}} Despite the worship of the Forerunners being central to the Covenant, an element of the [[Writ of Union]] permitted orthodox lacuna monks and select [[ascetic]] priests to continue to observe ancient religious practices at the Spire of Miatistina. However, these agreements would rarely be honored as the centuries passed.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P231}} | |||
===Covenant era=== | |||
Within the induction of the Sangheili and [[Sangheili colonies|their colonies]] into the Covenant, Suban became the sole production site for the ammunition used within needle-based weaponry,{{Ref/Reuse|blamite}} due to its status as the only known location where the blamite crystals can be found.{{Ref/Reuse|Needler}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} The moon also became host to several important armories that served as a vital component of the Covenant war machine.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | |||
The [[Bloodbrave Guardians of Suban]] would spurn their allegiance to the Covenant. This resulted in the High Prophets sending a [[battle group]] to wipe out the mercenary group in [[Kovokel]]. Only [[Okro 'Vagaduun]] would survive this massacre.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg458}} | |||
===Postwar=== | |||
Following the collapse of the Covenant, the Spire of Miatistina has seen a resurgence in activity as once-reduced religious orders and dormant traditions are revived.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P231}} | |||
====Blooding Years==== | |||
After the beginning of the [[Blooding Years]], a large portion of [[Sanghelios]]' population fled to Suban, Qikost, and other Sangheili colonies for refuge.<ref name="sanghelios">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/sanghelios '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sanghelios'']</ref> During this time of unrest for the Sangheili people, Suban served as a neutral safe harbor.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} However, the Blooding Years would still affect the Sangheili who called Suban home. After watching his people descend into civil war, [[Kaidon]] [[Thav 'Sebarim]] of [[Malaston keep|Malaston]] [[keep]] decided to find purpose within the [[Banished]]. The members of his keep joined 'Sebarim in the mercenary organization, calling themselves the [[Warriors of Malaston]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Target02|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Thav 'Sebarim}} | |||

====Reclamation and beyond==== | |||
{{Main|Battle of Suban}} | |||
Following the start of [[the Reclamation]] in late [[2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} set up a brief rendezvous on the far side of Suban with the remaining [[UNSC]] forces on the planet. Using [[India 127|a Pelican]] recovered from [[Genesis]] by [[Blue Team]] and [[Fireteam Osiris]], they were able to reach the ''Infinity'' without being intercepted by [[Created]] forces.{{Ref/Novel|BadB|Chapter=1}} Ultimately, Suban suffered only minimal damage during [[Cortana]]'s subjugation of Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | |||
With Cortana's final demise and the subsequent diminishing of the Created threat, Suban has once again become a focal point within the Urs system. Its unique supply of blamite has caught the attention of numerous factions seeking to capitalize on the moon's weakened security. While the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] has pledged to support local keeps in protecting the most vital mining sites, the struggle to maintain hold of Suban's resources has proved difficult.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} In [[2560]], the [[Banished]] had at least one mining operation on Suban, utilizing [[Unggoy]] to collect the blamite. [[Battle of Suban|A battle]] between Banished and Swords of Sanghelios fleets raged in the skies over this mining operation as [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]]s transported the harvested crystals from the mines.{{Ref/Reuse|Prism}}{{Ref/Site|Id=WaypointS5Maps|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview - Season 5|D=12|M=10|Y=2023}} | |||

==Government and society== | |||
[[File:H5G-Sanghelios concept.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A Sangheili city on Suban.]] | |||
===Economy=== | |||
The blamite mining [[clan]]s of Suban are a predominant industry on the moon, and maintain strong trade alliances with [[Kig-Yar]] scouts and [[Kig-Yar Sniper|snipers]]—who often prefer Subanese weaponry such as the {{Pattern|Gadulo|needle rifle}}.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=294}} The mineral [[Wikipedia:aragonite|aragonite]] is also mined from Suban, and considered extremely valuable, so much so that it may be used to fashion boxes with which to gift [[Glassing|glass shards]] to give to the [[Hierarchs]] for presentation in the [[Shard Chamber]] of [[High Charity]].{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=5}} | |||
===Culture=== | |||
Only Subanese natives are allowed to own the blamite infused ''[[Energy sword (fiction)#Variants|Lance of Suban]]'' energy sword.{{Ref/Reuse|CFAoW}} | |||
