'''Malurok''' ('''''Decided Heart''''' in [[English]]) is a former Covenant planet now jointly-held between the [[Sangheili]] and [[Yanme'e]] populations that have resided there for centuries.{{Ref/Reuse|wf}}

Malurok was settled centuries ago by [[Sangheili]] [[kaidon]]s and [[Yanme'e]] [[Yanme'e Queen|hive queen]]s of the [[Covenant]].{{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 [[2525]], [[Unggoy]] on Malurok attempted to secede from the Covenant. Later known as the [[Sixteenth Unggoy Disobedience]].{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} this rebellion was quashed in a matter of days by a strike force led by [[Ripa 'Moramee]], a Malurok native. 'Moramee demonstrated his ability once more when a [[Kig-Yar]] [[pirate]] prince named [[Krith]] seized some amount of power on the planet only to have his reign ended by him. 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]].<ref name="GEN">''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]''</ref> He was also due to be executed after one cycle had passed but he was spared this fate by being made an [[Arbiter]].{{Ref/Reuse|GEN}} 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}}

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}}

==Government and politics==

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 name="H4VIS">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 29''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Halo Universe]]''', ''page 139'' (2011)</ref><ref name="covenant">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Covenant'']</ref> 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 [[Type-57 Phantom]]s, as the dropships were sought by both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].<ref name="canon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-designs-of-the-times '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Designs of the Times'']</ref>

==Culture and society==

*The name of the colony is similar to that of the Yanme'e homeworld, [[Palamok]], reflecting its co-settlement by the species.<ref name="best">'''[[Halo 3]]''', ''[[Bestiarum]]''</ref>
