{{Quote|I, like all of you, believed in our leaders and their holy Covenant. How could we have been so willing to believe a Covenant of lies! They have called for the destruction of all Sangheili. They have aligned themselves with the barbaric Jiralhanae. The Great Schism is upon us. The unbreakable Covenant Writ of Union has been split asunder. This is the end of the Ninth, and final, Age. You must now decide to surrender to fate — or resist and strive to persist. Myself, I choose to fight. I call upon you all to join me. Let the old ways fade and battle by my side. Together we can forge a new, better union — a new Covenant among the stars.|[[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] addresses the Sangheili commanders<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 240''</ref>}} | {{Quote|I, like all of you, believed in our leaders and their holy Covenant.

With the Sangheili leaders gathered aboard his flagship ''[[Sublime Transcendence]]'', Wattinree announced the secession of the Sangheili from the main body of the Covenant.<ref name="goo"/> In addition, memorandums of the Prophets' betrayal were transmitted to all Sangheili vessels across the galaxy.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions''', ''"The Return"'', ''page 501''</ref> | ||
The Imperial Admiral also summoned the leadership of the Jiralhanae [[Alpha Tribe]]s to Joyous Exultation under the guise of a peace summit, in truth planning to kill the envoys and deal a decapitating blow to the Jiralhanae leadership. Wattinree also gave [[Shipmaster]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] command of his own fleet and ordered him to go to [[Onyx]] and prevent the [[Forerunner]] technologies there from falling into [[human]] hands. | The Imperial Admiral also summoned the leadership of the Jiralhanae [[Alpha Tribe]]s to Joyous Exultation under the guise of a peace summit, in truth planning to kill the envoys and deal a decapitating blow to the Jiralhanae leadership.

Wattinree's plans came to an end, however, when a [[NOVA bomb]] aboard ''Sublime Transcendence'', retrieved from [[Reach]] weeks earlier, was accidentally detonated by the [[Unggoy]] [[Kwassass]] and a group of [[Huragok]], obliterating the supercarrier, the Sangheili fleet, and razing Joyous Exultation's surface | Wattinree's plans came to an end, however, when a [[NOVA bomb]] aboard ''Sublime Transcendence'', retrieved from [[Reach]] weeks earlier, was accidentally detonated by the [[Unggoy]] [[Kwassass]] and a group of [[Huragok]], obliterating the supercarrier, the Sangheili fleet, and razing Joyous Exultation's surface. Mantakree's fleet made it to Onyx and [[Battle of Onyx|engaged the UNSC forces there]], but they were eventually wiped out by the Forerunner world's [[Onyx Sentinel|automated defenses]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 378''</ref> | ||
After the devastation of Joyous Exultation, many Sangheili went on to join the [[Swords of Sanghelios|separatist group]] headed by [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] and allied with humanity to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] and his Jiralhanae underlings.<ref>'''Halo 3'''</ref> | |||

Having freshly seceded from the Covenant, the alliance's military organization and rank structures were virtually unchanged from those of the [[Covenant military]] they used to serve, apart from the absence of the Jiralhanae in their ranks. | |||
