An operation on [[Netherop]] to claim it started a conflict between the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], the [[Banished]], and [[Defenders of the Sanctum]] which was made up of surviving rogue [[Covenant]] soldiers exiled on the planet in [[2526]]. | ||

When a [[Guardian Custode]] attacked, the Precursors used their weapon, the [[Divine Hand]], to destroy the Guardian. However, the weapon also destroyed the local civilization and the planet, turning Netherop from a lush habitable world into a barely inhabitable wasteland.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out17|Out|17}} | ||

However, Nizat's rogue actions led to the [[Hierarchs]] sending a fleet to stop him, leading to the destruction or retreat of the [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety]]. Nizat and his ground forces were exiled on Netherop's surface with an [[orbital mine shell]] being placed in orbit of the planet in order to prevent anyone from coming back for him. In addition, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amalea Petrov]] and some of her forces were left stranded on Netherop as well.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv}} Over the next thirty-three years, the UNSC and Covenant survivors fought each other, resulting in the death of most of Nizat's forces, leaving only Nizat himself and six others while the humans numbers continued to grow as the stranded survivors had children and families.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=7}}{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=9}} | ||
