After Halsey succeeded in programming the [[Constructor]],{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Before the Storm]]}} the [[Swords of Sanghelios]], aided by [[Fireteam Osiris]], launched an assault on [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]'s final stronghold in the city of [[Sunaion]]. Osiris aided Thel's forces in clearing out the anti-air defenses so that Thel's ships could move in and fought their way through the city to reach the [[Guardian]] before it could launch. With the help of Halsey and [[Sarah Palmer]], Osiris succeeded in boarding the Guardian before it launched into [[slipspace]] though they had to face [[Promethean]]s and the [[Warden Eternal]] first.{{Ref/Level|Id=Sunaion|H5G|[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]}} Having previously witnessed the launch of a Guardian,{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Evacuation]]}} Locke warned Thel to move his ships back as the construct would release a series of concussive blasts before making the jump.

This tactic succeeded with much of 'Mdama's Covenant's ships knocked out by the final blast as the Guardian jumped to [[Genesis]].
