{{Quote|If you wish to follow the Covenant, then leave here now! For myself—I will not surrender to the [[San'Shyuum]]! Nor will anyone loyal to my clan! And do not be deceived—the tale that this is alliance and not meek surrender is a lie! What is a Sangheili but his honor? His honor is equal to his soul, and his soul to his honor! We cannot submit to the Covenant. It is better to die than to live without dignity.|[[Ussa 'Xellus]] delivering a speech at his [[Xellus keep|keep]].{{Ref/Reuse|chapter1}}}}
The '''Rending''' was an insurrection sparked by [[Ussa 'Xellus]] in [[851 BCE]]{{Ref/Book|Id=enc22|Enc22|Page=192}} against both the Writ of Union and the Covenant at large.{{Ref/Novel|Id=chapter15|BC|Chapter=15}}


==Background==
The '''Rending''', also known as the '''Disassembly'''<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 232''</ref>, was a conflict between the newly established [[Covenant]] and the [[Ussans]] on [[the Refuge]].

==History==
{{Main|Sanghelios civil war}}
After Ussan [[Treason|traitor]] [[Salus 'Crolon]] was captured by the Covenant, he informed the empire of the Ussans' refuge on the [[shield world]]. Interested in capturing the shield world and eliminating the Ussan rebels, the [[Hierarchs]] sent in a [[Covenant fleet]] led by the [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]] to do so.<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''page 164'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

Inner Conviction attempted to reason with [[Ussa 'Xellus]] and offered to aid in guaranteeing his people's freedom if he allowed himself and [[Sooln 'Xellus|his mate]] to be tried before the Covenant, and likely executed. However, Ussa was not assured that his followers would ever be able to be allowed to return to [[Sanghelios]] alive.{{Ref/Novel|BC|Page=171-176 (Google Play edition)}} Instead, Ussa had [[monitor]] [[Enduring Bias]] activate the shield world's Disassembler process as the [[Covenant military]] invaded the world. The shield world was seemingly destroyed, along with all of its inhabitants.{{Ref/Novel|Id=bc178|BC|Page=178-181 (Google Play edition)}}

===Ussans===
Although Inner Conviction did not believe that the Ussans were killed, he decided to not court trouble and he ordered his fleet to leave the system. In truth, Ussa and his allies survived aboard large freight movers.{{Ref/Reuse|bc178}} After the fleet had left, Enduring Bias set the fragmented habitats of the shield world within the system's [[asteroid]] belt, as Ussa pledged to one day have his people take back Sanghelios.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 183'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

The Ussans continued to inhabit the disparate components of the shield world until [[2553]], when they were discovered by a group of Sangheili-led Covenant fleeing ''[[High Charity]]''. The inhabitants returned to contact with the Sangheili and those willing to return to Sanghelios were given the opportunity to.{{Ref/Novel|BC|Page=338-339}}
