In [[2552]], the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] seized an opportunity during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] to steal the ''[[vertex]]'' from [[Installation 00]], a device that would allow him to control the beasts known as the [[Sharquoi]]. However, it took Hekabe six years to pinpoint the planet [[Carrow]], located in one of the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]s, as the location where the Sharquoi could be found. | In [[2552]], the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] seized an opportunity during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] to steal the ''[[vertex]]'' from [[Installation 00]], a device that would allow him to control the beasts known as the [[Sharquoi]].

In [[2558]], [[Sangheili]] [[Thars 'Sarov]] disagreed with his cousin [[Rojka 'Kasaan]]'s desire to make peace with the humans of the [[UEG]] and particularly on Carrow. Thars ultimately turned this into [[Carrow Conflict|a full-scale civil war]]. To help win, Thars made a deal with Hekabe for his help, unaware that Hekabe's true intention was to unearth the [[Sharquoi hive]], located near the human city of [[Suraka]]. With Hekabe's help, Thars decimated Rojka's fleet, but after he confronted Hekabe for going to the surface, Hekabe turned on him.

The majority of the ones that weren't were forced to land on Carrow for repairs, leaving only three badly damaged [[Covenant frigate]]s in orbit. | ||
In an attempt to protect her planet and her people, Governor [[Ellis Gass]] began preparing a counterattack which eventually came to be known as Operation: BUZZHAWK. Though all of her [[slipspace]]-capable vessels were destroyed at the beginning of the conflict, Ellis still had a dozen merchant ships armed with point-defense guns which were capable of destroying Thars' remaining ships in their damaged state. Combined with her ground assets, Ellis convinced her generals to launch the strike in an effort to end the conflict.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HEnv|HEnv}} | In an attempt to protect her planet and her people, Governor [[Ellis Gass]] began preparing a counterattack which eventually came to be known as Operation: BUZZHAWK.
