However, the [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class ancilla]] failed in its task, ultimately crashing on the San'Shyuum homeworld of [[Janjur Qom]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P384&385}} In the following millennia, the San'Shyuum formed [[Covenant religion|a religion]] around derelict vessel and other remnants of the Forerunners on their world. Eventually, [[War of Wills|a war]] was fought between [[Reformists|two]] [[Stoics|sects]] of the religion resulting in one of the sects boarding ''Anodyne Spirit'' and fleeing Janjur Qom.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P190&191|Enc22|Page=190-191}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P384&385}} After some time, the San'Shyuum encountered the [[Sangheili]]. Their differences in beliefs regarding the Forerunners led to [[War of Beginnings|another war]] that ended in a stalemate largely the result of the keyship's extreme power and resilience in battle compared to the Sangheili vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P190&191}} Following this war, the [[Covenant]] was formed and ''Anodyne Spirit'' was decommissioned, becoming the centerpiece of [[High Charity]], the fledgling empire's capital.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P384&385}} There, it would power the massive [[space station]] up until the [[Great Schism]] in [[2552#November|November 2552]] when the [[Prophet of Truth]] appropriated the keyship to activate the [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] on [[Earth]] and travel to Installation 00 to activate the Halo Array. The ''Anodyne Spirit'' was left in a region of the installation known as [[Mahsko]] with a detachment of [[Covenant loyalists|Covenant forces]] led by [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]] assigned to guard it.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW|HDW}} They dutifully remained within the keyship until the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]] when a [[Banished]] raiding party [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|infiltrated]] ''Anodyne Spirit'' in search of a slipspace flake.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} Following this, the Covenant loyalists emerged from the keyship and began to wage war against those fighting for control of Installation 00.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P384&385}} | ||
