The system was once under the control of the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]]. The Forerunners built [[The Refuge|Shield World 0673]] in this system—apparently one of the last [[shield world]]s to be built—shortly before the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]].<ref name="hbc76">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 76''</ref> | The system was once under the control of the [[Forerunner]] [[ecumene]].

On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], with the dawn of the [[Great Schism]], supply ship ''[[Journey's Sustenance]]'' fled from ''[[High Charity]]'' with its crew of Sangheili, [[San'Shyuum]], and [[Huragok]] defectors. The ship's commander, [[Shipmaster]] [[D'ero 'S'bud]], chose the system as the Covenant had marked it as forbidden, meaning they were unlikely to be found there. San'Shyuum [[Zo Resken]], a descendant of the Prophet of Inner Conviction and a passenger of the supply ship, realized that the system was named after Ussa 'Xellus, whom his ancestor had written about. Guessing the Covenant had marked the system as forbidden to cover up what the [[Hierarchs]] considered to be a failure, Resken believed that the Ussan system was home to the Refuge. Hoping to discover the Refuge, Resken persuaded the crew of ''Journey's Sustenance'' to search the system for the colony.{{Ref/Reuse|bc255}} For half a year, the supply ship's crew searched the orbiting bodies in the system—particularly the asteroid belt—for the Refuge.<ref name="bc263">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 263-268'' (Google Play edition)</ref> The ship eventually discovered the colony and aided the Ussans by quelling the rebellion. The supply ship's [[Sluggish Drifter|Huragok]] helped repair monitor Enduring Bias and numerous damaged parts of the Refuge. Shortly after, [[Kaidon]] [[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]] had Bias connect the portions of the Refuge into a small ringworld. While some Ussans traveled to [[Sanghelios]], most remained living in the system.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 291-295'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], with the dawn of the [[Great Schism]], supply ship ''[[Journey's Sustenance]]'' fled from ''[[High Charity]]'' with its crew of Sangheili, [[San'Shyuum]], and [[Huragok]] defectors.
