During the later months of [[2559]], a force of [[Banished]] soldiers led by [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] [[Minas]] were [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|deployed]] to the Keyship to retrieve several shards of the [[Menachite Forerunner crystal]], intended to be used to re-connect the Banished forces with their allies in the Milky Way.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}

While exploring the ship, the Banished troops were ambushed by the surviving Covenant forces aboard the keyship - who no one had expected to still be alive. Despite using their old Covenant-era equipment, the Covenant troops were able to put up heavy resistance against the Banished troops and arranged several successful ambushes. Later on, they deployed six [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom dropships]] to support their attack, proving to outnumber the Banished raiding party considerably. Nonetheless, the Banished force's [[Flaktura Workshop Skewer]]s proved capable anti-air weapons in the battle, and the force was ultimately able to escape with the shards retrieved - though at considerably cost to their own numbers. The loyalist forces remained inside the keyship a potential threat to future operations in the region.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}

Under the leadership of [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], the Covenant loyalists allied with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] when they arrived on the Ark in [[2559#October|October 2559]] seeking to fire the [[Halo Array]] and begin the Great Journey. Aided by the Forerunner [[archeon-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]], the Keepers and the loyalists nearly succeeded in their mission, but they were ultimately foiled by the Banished and the UNSC. In the process, [[Castor]] learned the truth about the Halos and broke off his alliance with the loyalists as the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} launched an [[orbital bombardment]] that destroyed [[Epsilon Clarion]] and Intrepid Eye. The battle completely wiped out Castor's detachment of the Keepers aside from Castor himself and [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]], while the only survivor of the loyalist forces that took part in the engagement was Bhasvod.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} However, the damage that Bhasvod took prevented him from recovering the crystal shards that the Banished had stolen from the loyalists and thus kept him from opening a portal to [[Cloister]] to warn [[Jom G'e'qth]] that their plan had failed.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW17|DW|Chapter=17}}
