By [[876 BCE]], the Sangheili had begun to employ their own Forerunner weapons against the San'Shyuum, deciding that the only way to ensure the survival of their species would be to reconsider their beliefs that such actions were sacrilege.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 151''</ref> Upon discovering this, most San'Shyuum softened toward the possibility of a cease-fire, but [[Pervading Stone]]—their leader—only grew more incensed.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} During a [[Skirmish of the Planet of Blue and Red|skirmish]] at | By [[876 BCE]], the Sangheili had begun to employ their own Forerunner weapons against the San'Shyuum, deciding that the only way to ensure the survival of their species would be to reconsider their beliefs that such actions were sacrilege.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}}<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 151''</ref> Upon discovering this, most San'Shyuum softened toward the possibility of a cease-fire, but [[Pervading Stone]]—their leader—only grew more incensed.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} During a [[Skirmish of the Planet of Blue and Red|skirmish]] at [[Anvarl]] in [[860 BCE]], the Dreadnought was used to eliminate Sangheili ground forces from orbit.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 9-13'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Shortly after this battle, Pervading Stone finally took the Dreadnought to Sanghelios in the [[Urs system]], seaking to eradicate the Sangheili once and for all. In the ensuing battle, the Dreadnought was used to ravage the Sangheili homeworld and its two [[Natural satellite|moon]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} However, the Sangheili would unleash their powerful Forerunner weapons on Dreadnought, managing to bring it down on [[Suban]] and trap it in place with [[gravity anchor]]s. With the San'Shyuum held captive within their keyship for a time, the Sangheili debated whether to simply destroy the vessel and those within, or to breach it and take the Dreadnought for themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} | ||
By [[855 BCE]], while the Dreadnought was still immobilized on Suban, the San'Shyuum known as [[Breaking Shadow]] led a coup against Pervading Stone. Following his death, the San'Shyuum aboard the Dreadnought were united, and Breaking Shadow prepared to at last broach the possibility of peace to the Sangheili. In [[852 BCE]], order to ensure the survival of both species, an unarmed San'Shyuum delegation was sent to the Sangheili, and a tenuous truce was forged by Breaking Shadow and First Kaidon [[Pelahsar the Strident]]. This alliance would soon lead to the formation of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P191}} | By [[855 BCE]], while the Dreadnought was still immobilized on Suban, the San'Shyuum known as [[Breaking Shadow]] led a coup against Pervading Stone.
