In [[2560]], a '''battle''' erupted around the crystal mines on the moon of [[Suban]] between the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the [[Banished]] with [[fleet]]s from both factions engaged in the moon's sky.{{Ref/Site|Id=MOS5|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=MAPS OVERVIEW - SEASON 5|D=13|M=10|Y=2023}}{{Ref/Site|Id=Launch|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/combined-arms-operation-launch|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Combined Arms Operation Launch|D=14|M=11|Y=2023}} The Banished sought to raid the [[Subanese crystal]] mines on the moon in order to use them for [[needle-based weaponry]].{{Ref/Reuse|Id=Cfflyme}}

On [[2559#December|December 13, 2559]], [[Cortana]] died at the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]], resulting in the deactivation of the [[Guardian Custode|Guardians]]. Despite this, the Created occupation of Sanghelios lasted until early 2560, when, suddenly, and unexpectedly, the Created forces relinquished their grip on the Urs system. This unanticipated turn of fortune quickly spiraled into a race to fill the power vacuum left on Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} For Suban, this meant debilitated local security, though the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] pledged to support Suban's keeps in protecting their mining sites.

While many of the keeps and kaidons on Sanghelios remained steadfast in their support of the Arbiter and his attempts to unify the Sangheili, others sought [[Covenant remnants|alternative divisions]] of power.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} Tensions in the system served for others as an invitation for any well-organized force, an invitation that the Banished sought to exploit.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} Banished Sangheili in the Urs system allowed the faction to access the moon of [[Suban]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} Eventually, a Banished fleet attacked Suban, seeking to claim its blamite crystal mines.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}} The [[Alchemist Corps]] of [[Sicatt Workshop]] aboard the ''[[Ghost of Barolon]]'' would begin to study the crystals themselves.{{Ref/Site|Id=Cfflyme|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fly-me-to-the-blood-moon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Games|Page=Canon Fodder: Fly Me to the Blood-Moon|D=20|M=11|Y=2023}}
Following the [[Battle of Netherop (2559)|multi-sided conflict]] at [[Netherop]] in 2559, the Banished sent forces to Suban seeking to take control of the [[Subanese crystal|Blamite crystal]] mines there. The [[Alchemist Corps]] of [[Sicatt Workshop]] aboard the ''[[Ghost of Barolon]]'' would begin to study the crystals themselves.{{Ref/Site|Id=Cfflyme|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-fly-me-to-the-blood-moon|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Games|Page=Canon Fodder: Fly Me to the Blood-Moon|D=20|M=11|Y=2023}}

===Fleet preparations and ground skirmishes===
During the battle, the Banished continued to ship materiel from their mining operation via [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler|siege-hauler]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|prism}}
{{Quote|We need not be foes. Step aside, give us Suban, and your forces shall be spared. Better yet, pledge your allegiance to the Banished, and the only ones that need perish are the demons that desecrate the ground of Suban.|[[Orna 'Fulsam]]ee attempting to negotiate with [[Mahkee 'Chava]].{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}}}
In early 2560, the [[Sanghelios home defense fleet]] positioned themselves at Suban and began scanning Banished fleet elements including the ''Ghost of Barolon''. Simultaneously, [[Swords of Sanghelios]] [[D'nomlhe-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] were deployed to the [[Mines of Shua'ree]] to destroy [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler]]s carrying raw [[Kemuksuru]] in order to cause a distraction, while [[Fahl 'Nto]], a [[Kig-Yar Sniper]], and two [[Spartan]]s set up positions in the area. As expected, the resulting explosions of the Blamite crystals in the siege haulers confused the occupying forces within the mines, giving [[Dahks]] and Spartan [[Trell]] an opening to begin picking them off. Swords of Sanghelios reinforcements quickly arrived aboard a Phantom along with the rest of [[Fireteam Jorogumo]], all led by [[Orim 'Kasaan]], and joined the recon team in sweeping through the mines while slaughtering the Banished forces stationed there. However, Chieftain [[Ipso]] arrived in the middle of the battle and managed to take down 'Nto, leading Spartan [[Glyyss]] to jump in front of the Hammer strike meant for the Elite, sacrificing himself in the process. After Ipso was chased away by Phantom fire, the other Spartans managed to grab Glyyss' body. In the wake of their missions deterioration, the remaining Spartans and the rest of the Swords forces retreated aboard 'Kasaan's Phantom, with N'to vowing to return.{{Ref/Reuse|blood-moon}}
 
===Total battle===
The two fleets would eventually come to blows. In the midst of this, the Banished [[Barukaza Workshop siege-hauler|siege-hauler]]s continued to ship materiel from their mining operation.{{Ref/Reuse|prism}}
