Some time later, Ussa was informed the 'Crolon had escaped. Ussa, Sooln, and Bias raced to the ship [[hangar]] and arrived just as 'Crolon left the planet in ''Clan's Blade''.

For failing to kill Ussa at the Planet of Blue and Red, Mken 'Scre'ah'ben—now the Prophet of Inner Conviction—was sent by the [[Hierarchs]] to lead a fleet to quell Ussa's rebellion.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 164''</ref> When a [[Covenant fleet]] arrived over the shield world, Ussa intended to activate the Disassembler process but first decided to contact the fleet, hoping to possibly negotiate a deal.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 166''</ref> Mken's [[Pledge of Holiness|carrier]] sent a transmission that was picked up by Enduring Bias. Bias presented the transmission to Ussa, allowing the two to see and hear each other. Mken gave Ussa an offer: if Ussa and Sooln turned themselves in, the rest of the Ussans will be free to live on Sanghelios. Knowing that his people would still likely be killed, Ussa instead offered to hand over relics to the Covenant each [[cycle|solar cycle]] if the fleet withdrew. Mken told Ussa that the Covenant would not agree, and insisted that he surrendered for the sake of his people. Again, Ussa declined and told Bias to end the transmission.<ref name="bc171"/> As the [[Covenant military]] invaded the shield world, Ussa sent one final transmission to Mken. He warned the San'Shyuum that he was about to destroy the shield world and suggested for the Covenant to extract their warriors off the world.<ref name="bc178">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 178-181''</ref> | Some time later, Ussa was informed the 'Crolon had escaped.

As the Covenant fleet retreated to the planet's orbit, Ussa and Enduring Bias activated the Disassembler process. The shield world was seemingly destroyed, along with all of its inhabitants. In truth, Ussa and his allies survived aboard large freight movers. Mken believed that he spotted the freighters within the debris of the Refuge, but chose to ignore as he knew Ussa would not present a threat to the Covenant.<ref name="bc178"/> When the Covenant fleet left the system, Enduring Bias set the fragmented habitats within the system's [[asteroid]] belt. The Ussans continued to inhabit the habitable sections of the Refuge, as Ussa pledged to one day have his people take back Sanghelios.<ref name="bc183"/> At some point, the [[Primary Section]] of the Refuge was struck by a comet and disabled Bias. Ussa would later write that he believed the monitor would repair himself and become active in the future.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 206''</ref> | As the Covenant fleet retreated to the planet's orbit, Ussa and Enduring Bias activated the Disassembler process.
