The '''Legion of the Corpse-Moon''' are a [[Jiralhanae]]-led [[clan]] under the leadership of [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Deukalion]], presumably hailing from [[Doisac]]'s "corpse-moon" of [[Soirapt]]. | The '''Legion of the Corpse-Moon''' are a [[Jiralhanae]]-led [[clan]] under the leadership of [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Deukalion]], presumably hailing from [[Doisac]]'s "corpse-moon" of [[Soirapt]]. While the clan serves as a [[Legion#Banished|legion]] within the [[Banished]], Deukalion holds the rank of [[legionmaster]]. The Legion of the Corpse-Moon are known to be raiders.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR7|HSoR|Chapter=7}} | ||

At some point prior to [[2559|July 2559]], the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were absorbed into the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR3|HSoR|Chapter=3}} After War Chief [[Escharum]] received a message from [[Atriox]] ordering him to find [[Menachite portal complex|a fabled]] [[Forerunner]] [[slipspace portal|portal]] on [[Reach]] so that he could return to the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] from [[Installation 00]], the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were sent to the [[Glassing|glassed]] [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]], alongside the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Ravaged Tusks]], to search for the "Portal under the Mountain." | At some point prior to [[2559|July 2559]], the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were absorbed into the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR3|HSoR|Chapter=3}} After War Chief [[Escharum]] received a message from [[Atriox]] ordering him to find [[Menachite portal complex|a fabled]] [[Forerunner]] [[slipspace portal|portal]] on [[Reach]] so that he could return to the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] from [[Installation 00]], the Legion of the Corpse-Moon were sent to the [[Glassing|glassed]] [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]], alongside the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and the [[Clan of the Ravaged Tusks|Ravaged Tusks]], to search for the "Portal under the Mountain."{{Ref/Reuse|SOR3}} | ||
Upon reaching the colony, the clans were each sent to search a third of the world—with the Legion of the Corpse-Moon being assigned to search the southeastern third of the [[Eposz]] supercontinent—but they had little luck in finding the portal. Deukalion and his forces began to squabble with [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Ballas]] of the Ravaged Tusks over the resources found within the various human rehabilitation settlements. | Upon reaching the colony, the clans were each sent to search a third of the world—with the Legion of the Corpse-Moon being assigned to search the southeastern third of the [[Eposz]] supercontinent—but they had little luck in finding the portal.

The [[UNSC]] had sent a [[Blue Team|team]] of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] to Reach on a [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]] to recover assets from the ruins of [[CASTLE Base]], but Castor felt sure that they were searching for the portal as well.{{Ref/Reuse|SOR7}} | ||
As part of Castor's plan to follow the Spartans, forces from the Legion of the Corpse-Moon and the Ravaged Tusks would continue to harass them. Deukalion's forces would also participate in the failed [[Battle of New Mohács|defense and recapture]] of [[Mohács|New Mohács]], a settlement constructed by the [[Viery Militia]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR14|HSoR|Chapter=14}} Ironically, the Spartans did end up leading the three clans to the portal, as CASTLE Base sat atop the buried Forerunner facility.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR19|HSoR|Chapter=19}} | As part of Castor's plan to follow the Spartans, forces from the Legion of the Corpse-Moon and the Ravaged Tusks would continue to harass them.
