The case eventually escalated and became the largest of many smaller grievances that the Unggoy faced in their service with the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} Outraged at the case's results and its lack of attention, the Unggoy began to attack, not only the Kig-Yar, but all other races in the Covenant. Conflict spread throughout the lower districts of ''High Charity'', as [[Sangheili]] and Kig-Yar forces attempted to quell the Unggoy Rebellion. However, their large numbers and tenacious behavior made the Unggoy very difficult to defeat. The rebellion forced the [[Hierarchs]] of the [[Covenant High Council]] to instate an [[Arbiter]]. | The case eventually escalated and became the largest of many smaller grievances that the Unggoy faced in their service with the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} Outraged at the case's results and its lack of attention, the Unggoy began to attack, not only the Kig-Yar, but all other races in the Covenant.

Horrified at the turn of events, the Unggoy surrendered. The Covenant fleet ended the glassing, leaving Balaho largely intact.{{Ref/Reuse|h2a terminal10}}{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} Although the Unggoy cared little for Balaho itself, they were unwilling to lose the large amounts of potential breeding partners on the planet.<ref> '''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 308'' (2011 edition)</ref> The Arbiter returned to ''High Charity'' and the surviving Unggoy in the holy city were absolved from their acts during the rebellion.{{Ref/Reuse|h2a terminal10}}{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} | ||

The end of the Unggoy Rebellion ushered in the [[Ages of Doubt|23rd Age of Doubt]]. The war showed that when properly motivated, the [[Unggoy]] could be vicious, determined, and competent fighters—especially in close-quarters combat. Despite the lack of individual skill, the fact of the matter was that the Unggoy had the tenacity and numbers to hurl themselves and take down the [[Sangheili]]; were it not for the [[Covenant]] threatening to [[glass]] Balaho the Unggoy would have most likely stood a viable chance as their sheer numbers would just overwhelm the other Covenant forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}}{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} Following their warrior tradition, the Sangheili commanders who had defeated the uprising quickly forgave the surviving Unggoy fighters and awarded them for their courage and "warrior spirit".<ref> '''Halo Encyclopedia | The end of the Unggoy Rebellion ushered in the [[Ages of Doubt|23rd Age of Doubt]].

The Sangheili allowed the Unggoy to have access to Covenant weaponry, which the Unggoy had previously been forbidden from using. The Sangheili also integrated the Unggoy into formerly Sangheili-only units, elevating them from unarmed cannon fodder to true infantry forces. However, the war kept the Unggoy in a lowly position within the Covenant. Additionally, despite gaining many new rights, the Unggoy's representation on the High Council by the [[Ministry of Concert]] remained largely powerless.<ref> '''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 151'' (2011 edition)</ref> Although some [[San'Shyuum]] continued to doubt the loyalty of the Unggoy, they complied with the Sangheili's decision since the [[Writ of Union]] stated that all security matters were to be governed by the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|Encyclopedia}}{{Ref/Reuse|ch150}} | ||
The rebellion led to the dismissal of the [[Minister of Concert]], who had refused to properly investigate the Infusion Incident that led to the Unggoy Rebellion. The Minister position was succeeded by the future [[Prophet of Tolerance|High Prophet of Tolerance]], who would promote better relations between all members of the Covenant species.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 264''</ref> | The rebellion led to the dismissal of the [[Minister of Concert]], who had refused to properly investigate the Infusion Incident that led to the Unggoy Rebellion.
