===Early history=== | |||
Prior to the formation of the [[Covenant]] between the [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]], Suban held significant religious importance for the Sangheili. Its [[Spire of Miatistina]] was fabled to serve as a spiritual convergence point between of the wills of the gods and their celestial counterparts [[Urs system|Urs]], [[Fied]], and [[Joori]]. | Prior to the formation of the [[Covenant]] between the [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]], Suban held significant religious importance for the Sangheili. Its [[Spire of Miatistina]] was fabled to serve as a spiritual convergence point between of the wills of the gods and their celestial counterparts [[Urs system|Urs]], [[Fied]], and [[Joori]]. Despite the worship of the [[Forerunner]]s being central to the Covenant, an element of the [[Writ of Union]] permitted orthodox lacuna monks and select ascetic priests to observe ancient religious practices at the spire. However, these agreements would rarely be honored as the centuries passed.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P231|Enc22|Page=231}} | ||

===Blooding Years=== | |||
After the beginning of the [[Blooding Years]], a large portion of [[Sanghelios]]' population fled to Suban, Qikost, and other Sangheili colonies for refuge.<ref name="sanghelios">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/sanghelios '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Sanghelios'']</ref> During this time of unrest for the Sangheili people, Suban served as a neutral safe harbor.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | |||

===Reclamation and beyond=== | |||
Following the start of [[the Reclamation]] in late [[2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} set up a brief rendezvous on the far side of Suban with the remaining [[UNSC]] forces on the planet. Using [[India 127|a Pelican]] recovered from [[Genesis]] by [[Blue Team]] and [[Fireteam Osiris]], they were able to reach the ''Infinity'' without being intercepted by [[Created]] forces.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> Ultimately, Suban suffered only minimal damage during [[Cortana]]'s subjugation of Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | |||
With Cortana's final demise and the subsequent diminishing of the Created threat, Suban has once again become a focal point within the Urs system. Its unique supply of blamite has caught the attention of numerous factions seeking to capitalize on the moon's weakened security. While the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] has pledged to support local [[keep]]s in protecting the most vital mining sites, the struggle to maintain hold of Suban's resources has proved difficult.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | |||
