'''Codisfold''' was a [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili colonies|colony]]. During the [[War of Beginnings]], the planet was found by the [[San'Shyuum]] [[Reformists]], who eradicated its population of millions of Sangheili.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P258|Enc22|Page=258}}

==History==
===Colonization===
Sometime prior to [[938 BCE]], the [[Sangheili]] discovered and colonized the ringed [[planet]] of [[Codisfold]]. Eventually, millions of Sangheili would call the world home.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}}

===Sacrifice===
{{Main|Raid at Codisfold}}
Following their first meeting and ensuring [[Desecration of Ulgethon|battle]] with the [[San'Shyuum]] at [[Ulgethon]], the Sangheili could not best their enemy's powerful [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]], an ancient [[Forerunner]] [[keyship]] that the San'Shyuum had brought from [[Janjur Qom|their homeworld]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P191|Enc22|Page=191}} Eventually, after losing several of their [[Sangheili colonies|colonies]], the Sangheili came up with a plan to defeat the vessel, deciding to sacrifice Codisfold in [[Raid at Codisfold|a daring attack]]. To prepare, they hid dozens of [[Naval boarding|ship-boring]] machines in the rings around the planet. When the Dreadnought arrived to destroy Codisfold, the ship-boring machines launched from their hiding places, carrying skilled infiltration teams toward the keyship.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} The Sangheili managed to sneak aboard the Dreadnought, damaging several of the vessel's critical systems and slaying thousands of San'Shyuum. While taken by surprise, the San'Shyuum counterattacked and killed all of the Sangheili intruders.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Sacrifice|HSoR|Detail=Adjunct - [[Sacrifice]]}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}} Following the incursion, the San'Shyuum attacked Codisfold, killing millions of Sangheili residents.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}}

While the raid on the Dreadnought was ultimately a costly failure for the Sangheili, it forced the San'Shyuum to acknowledge their vulnerability. The unrest it caused among them would help pave the way toward [[Writ of Union|a truce]] between the two species, and ultimately the formation of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P258}}
