Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant: Difference between revisions

During the final months of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Prophet of Truth commandeered the ''Anodyne Spirit'' to escape the [[Fall of High Charity]] and head to [[Installation 00|The Ark]] to begin the process of firing the [[Halo Array]]. When his Keyship landed in the [[Mahsko]] region, Truth and his entourage departed for the installation's [[Citadel]], while a charge of Jiralhanae and Kig-Yar soldiers led by [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]] were left with the keyship to fend off potential attackers.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} During the battle, the crew guarding the Keyship deployed half of their forces to try to draw the humans and Sangheili away from the Prophet of Truth.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW7|DW|Chapter=7}}

At the battle's conclusion, the Covenant was formally defeated and Installation 08 fired, severely damaging the Ark in the process and killing those of the Keyship's crew who had exited in an attempt to draw the enemy away from their leader, yet the Keyship managed to protect the rest of the surviving crew inside from the ring's pulse.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}{{Ref/Reuse|DW7}} Stranded on the Ark well outside the [[Milky Way]], the soldiers were able to survive for the ensuing [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|seven years]] thanks to the keyship's ample supply reserves, seemingly in hiding from the later exploration and [[Operation: FAR STORM|settlement]] of the Ark by [[UNSC]] [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost|researchers]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}
