'''Hilot''' is a [[Sangheili]] city-state on [[Sanghelios]]. At least twelve [[keep]]s exist within the state, housing thousands of families. By the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2553]], the state's [[kaidon]] was [[Gerdon 'Hilot]], while his mate, [[Kasha 'Hilot|Kasha]], was charged with administratively managing the state. When [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] announced his intent to ally with [[human]]ity and the [[Unified Earth Government]], some states and Sangheili on Sanghelios revolted against him, leading to the [[Blooding Years]] which embroiled the planet in civil war.<ref name="lessonslearned"/>

Under Gerdon's rule, Hilot, along with [[Chaura]], was one of the first states to align with the Arbiter and [[Vadam|his own state]], as part of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Thursday War]]''', ''page 154''</ref> During the civil war, Gerdon was killed in combat and Kasha assumed command over her state in the resulting chaos. As the conflict began to die down, Kasha stepped down from her position and allowed Gerdon's best friend to assume the office of kaidon with his own mate assuming her former duties.<ref name="lessonslearned"/>
