| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Topography and ecology===
| |
| From a cursory examination, Malurok's surface appears inhospitable. It is a harsh world featuring a number of barren atolls.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg10}} Beneath the surface, however, are labyrinthine cities and elaborate halls that house millions in comfort.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} Large urban areas and [[keep]]s also exist on the surface.{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} A significant portion of Malurok is covered by water and a species of aquatic ray-like creature brought by [[Sangheili]] to multiple worlds can be found swimming in it.{{Ref/Reuse|canon fodder}}

| ==History==
| |
| ===Covenant era===
| |
| Malurok was settled in the early years of the Covenant{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22pg233|Enc22|Page=233}} by [[Sangheili]] [[kaidon]]s and [[Yanme'e]] [[Yanme'e Queen|hive queen]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}}
| |
|
| |
| Since then, these two groups have managed their own affairs though the empire did make use of the [[Sangheili colonies|colony]]. Many [[cycle]]s prior to [[2531]], a [[Kig-Yar]] [[pirate]] prince named [[Krith]] seized some amount of power on Malurok only to have his reign ended by strike force commanded by [[Ripa 'Moramee]], a native of the planet. Shortly following the defeat of Krith, 'Moramee attempted a coup against his own kaidon in the state of [[Moram]]. He failed to murder the leadership of the [[clan]] and for this he was tried and imprisoned at [[Weeping Shadows of Sorrow]]. He was also due to be executed after one cycle had passed but he was spared this fate by being made an [[Arbiter]].{{Ref/Comic|Id=GEN|[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Post-war===
| |
| After the Covenant [[Great Schism|tore itself apart]] in late [[2552]], Malurok's governing entities finally were free to be truly independent polities.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} However, the planet did briefly enter a [[Blooding Years|period of civil conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg233}}
| |
|
| |
| During the [[Created uprising]], the Created enforced a peace that would result in a detente between the warring factions.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg233}}

| [[File:HINF Concept SangheliosMalurok.png|thumb|right|300px|A city on Malurok.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22pg233}}]]
| |
| Malurok is governed by independent Sangheili kaidons and Yanme'e hive queens. Before the undoing of the Covenant it was considered one of its primary worlds.{{Ref/Reuse|evg10}}{{Ref/Book|Id=H4VIS|H4EVG|Page=29}}{{Ref/Book|Enc11|Page=139}}{{Ref/Site|Id=covenant|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Universe, Factions|Page=Covenant|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant.html}} The [[hierarch]]s used Malurok to gather, train, and equip legions of troops as well as fleets of ships. In addition, the world was home to a good number of fortresses which still remain standing, which caused it to be recognized as a military base itself. The bureaucrats on ''[[High Charity]]'' were never able to find fault with the quality or quantity of the planet's tithes despite the independent sentiments expressed by its leaders.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} Sangheili that were found guilty by a court of committing heinous crimes could be sentenced to imprisonment and execution through extended and punitive means.{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Economy===
| |
| Malurok is known as a world characterized by industry.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}} Following the collapse of the Covenant, [[Malurok Armory]] manufactured {{Pattern|Mikpramu|Phantom}}s, as the dropships were sought by both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].{{Ref/Site|Id=canon fodder|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-designs-of-the-times|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=News, Canon Fodder|Page=Designs of the Times|LocalArchive=https://archives.halopedia.org/waypoint/www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-designs-of-the-times.html}}
| |
|
| |
| ===Culture===
| |
| Though first settled by Sangheili and Yanme'e, eventually at least two other species, [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Unggoy]], resided on Malurok while the Covenant was in control.{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} The kaidons and hive queens on the planet were proud to the point of insolence when they were still Covenant subjects. In its absence, their ambitions have been unleashed.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}}

|
| |
|
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The name of the colony is similar to that of the Yanme'e homeworld, [[Palamok]], reflecting its co-settlement by the species.{{Ref/Game|H3|[[Bestiarum]]}}
| |
| *Malurok may be home to the [[Vassal Workshops of Clan Makan and Clan Vol]], given that Parg Vol was born there.
