The '''Ussans''' are a faction founded by [[Ussa 'Xellus]] in response to the [[Sangheili]] signing the [[Writ of Union]] with the [[San'Shyuum]] to form the [[Covenant]] in [[852 BCE]]. They were rediscovered by a Covenant separatist resupply ship, ''[[Journey's Sustenance]]'', in [[2553]]. The clan lived on Shield World 0673, known to them as [[the Refuge]] or the Ussan Refuge, in the [[Ussan system]]. Upon the colony's settling, the Ussans had a population of slightly over 400. By [[2552]], their numbers had risen to 2,310.<ref name="bc230">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 230''</ref> Due to their isolation and the limited resources of the Refuge, the Ussans' technological capability had regressed considerably over their history; they barely had the means to travel among the disparate sections of the Refuge and used less sophisticated types of weapon than the Covenant, such as [[burnblade]]s and [[mec-missiler]]s. | The '''Ussans''' are a faction founded by [[Ussa 'Xellus]] in response to the [[Sangheili]] signing the [[Writ of Union]] with the [[San'Shyuum]] to form the [[Covenant]] in [[852 BCE]].
