Ussa 'Xellus intended to use Shield World 0673 as a refuge for his rebel movement until they could gather sufficient strength to strike against the Covenant. He put this plan to action upon returning to his hideout in [[Nwari]], [[Sanghelios]].<ref name="hbc c1"/> Not long after the Ussans had settled in the shield world, its location was compromised to the Covenant because of a traitor. A Covenant fleet arrived in the system and the [[Prophet of Inner Conviction]] attempted to personally convince Ussa 'Xellus to surrender. However, 'Xellus instead activated the shield world's disassembly mechanism, causing it to break apart explosively. While Inner Conviction suspected the rebels may have survived, he withdrew the fleet and had the event recorded as a mass suicide on the Ussans' part. | Ussa 'Xellus intended to use Shield World 0673 as a refuge for his rebel movement until they could gather sufficient strength to strike against the Covenant.

The Ussan faction continued to inhabit the disparate components of the shield world, scattered across the system's asteroid belt, for over 3,000 years, forming their own civilization that significantly diverged from the mainline Sangheili over that time. In [[2553]], they were discovered by a group of Covenant separatists fleeing the [[Battle of High Charity|battle]] in ''[[High Charity]]''. By this time the sections had dilapidated significantly and the Sangheili population was plagued by dissidents as well as a disease known as the [[Blood Sickness]], caused by faulty protein synthesizers. However, thanks to the arrival of a [[Huragok]], [[Sluggish Drifter]], Enduring Bias, who had been damaged in the disassembly process, was made operational again. The monitor helped [[Kaidon]] [[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]] neutralize the rebellion that was threatening the integrity of the colony and reconnected the surviving portions of the shield world; they were not sufficient to form a full sphere again but instead formed a small ringworld somewhat similar to a [[Halo Array|Halo]].<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 336-337''</ref> | The Ussan faction continued to inhabit the disparate components of the shield world, scattered across the system's asteroid belt, for over 3,000 years, forming their own civilization that significantly diverged from the mainline Sangheili over that time.
