Stopping the Great Journey
After being disgraced following the Flood outbreak, Pavium and Voridus discovered a note left behind by Veta Lopis, a covert double agent inside the Keepers of the One Freedom. This note informed them that the Keepers intended to fire all the Halo rings from the Ark. Seeing this as an opportunity to redeem their clan, they set out to stop the Keepers who had allied with Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant loyalists. Throughout their mission, Pavium's authority was indirectly challenged by Thalazan who saw an opportunity to compete with the disgraced warlord for leadership.[2]
During the Battle of Epsilon Clarion, the Ferrets alerted the loyalists and the Keepers to the clan's presence as their impending attack threatened the UNSC's plans to destroy Intrepid Eye. The battle decimated all three sides, leaving Voridus, Pavium and possibly Thalazan as the only survivors of the Long Shields. Following the orbital bombardment by the Spirit of Fire that destroyed Epsilon Clarion and stopped the attempt at firing the Halo Array, Pavium and Voridus plotted to claim that the Long Shields had held off the Keepers long enough for the humans to commence their bombardment, knowing that there was no one left alive to contradict their claims.[4]

Military assets
The Long Shields make use of various Banished vehicles and weaponry. While predominantly composed of Jiralhanae, fifteen of the Banished's many humans were in the clan,[1][5] as well as Sangheili mercenaries from Let 'Volir's clan,[6] Unggoy, and Huragok. A few humans in the clan defected to the UNSC after the Flood outbreak on the Ark, leading Pavium to pre-emptively kick out the humans under his command, killing some in the process. Warmaster Atriox was upset with his decision to do so, considering all Banished humans to be valuable assets.[1]
