Shortly before Ussa's death, a rogue comet struck the [[Primary Section]] of the Refuge and Enduring Bias was deactivated in the incident. Overtime, the state of the Refuge began to deteriorate. The Ussans' nutrition systems in the colony had begun to falter and some life-support systems were beginning to fail. Some of the colony's protein synthesizers began to malfunction, which caused some Ussans to become infected with [[Blood Sickness]], a disease that caused violence or hallucinations in those that it afflicted. Some [[Sangheili]] believed that an apocalypse was inevitable. [['Insa 'Greftus]], a Blood Sick Sangheili, believed that the "Forgotten Gods" channeled themselves physically through him and they wanted the Sangheili to depart the Refuge. These gods had allegedly told 'Greftus the location of [[Sanghelios]], and they wanted the Sangheili to use the colony's ancient starships to return to the planet. 'Greftus initiated a rebellion in [[Section Five]] of the Refuge, and he established the "Way of 'Greftus" and the [['Greftus Faction]]. Kaidon [[N'Zursa 'Xellus]] claimed that 'Greftus' ramblings were the result of his Blood Sickness and sent guards for 'Greftus. The rebel was ejected out of the Refuge via [[airlock]] into space for his "Failure of Clan Integrity". All Ussans in the Refuge witnessed 'Greftus' death.<ref name="bc231">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 231-233'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||
As the colony continued to deteriorate, N'Zursa 'Xellus suggested that all vital supplies should be moved to the Primary Section. However, section captains disagreed, citing that it left their sections vulnerable and discounted them.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 259''</ref> Following N'Zursa's death, his nephew—[[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]]—was titled kaidon.<ref name="bc203">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 203''</ref> After the failure of the irrigation systems of the eco level resulted in the die-off of many vegetation, as well as the simultaneous breakdown of the protein synthesizer, a savage group of Sangheili led by a Blood Sick marauder had begun feeding upon other Ussans that they deemed inferior. Known as the [[Blue Mandibles]], these Sangheili invaded parts of [[Section Two]]. Bal'Tol eventually led troops against the cannibals and slaughtered the faction.{{Ref/Reuse|bc225}} | As the colony continued to deteriorate, N'Zursa 'Xellus suggested that all vital supplies should be moved to the Primary Section.

*Sanghelios itself had faded into myths and legends by 2553, and many Ussans were surprised that the planet actually exists. Despite the fact that returning to Sanghelios is one of their society's main goals, a considerable number of them opted to stay at the Refuge after it was repaired.{{ | *Sanghelios itself had faded into myths and legends by 2553, and many Ussans were surprised that the planet actually exists.
