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]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P231|Enc22|Page=231}} | Prior to the formation of the [[Covenant]] between the [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]], Suban held significant religious importance for the Sangheili.

===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}} However, the Blooding Years would still affect the Sangheili who called Suban home. After watching his people descend into civil war, [[Kaidon]] [[Thav 'Sebarim]] of [[Malaston keep|Malaston]] [[keep]] decided to find purpose within the [[Banished]]. The members of his keep joined 'Sebarim in the mercenary organization, calling themselves the [[Warriors of Malaston]].{{Ref/Game|Id=Target02|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, Thav 'Sebarim}} | |||
===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/Novel|BadB|Chapter=1}} Ultimately, Suban suffered only minimal damage during [[Cortana]]'s subjugation of Sanghelios.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P230}} | 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.

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 keeps in protecting the most vital mining sites, the struggle to maintain hold of Suban's resources has proved difficult.{{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.

The Swords of Sanghelios defenders engaged the Banished with their own fleet, resulting in a battle in the moon's skies.{{Ref/Site|Id=WaypointS5Maps|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/maps-overview-season-5|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Maps Overview - Season 5|D=12|M=10|Y=2023}} | ||
