Despite the control and goals of the Created at large, the [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war]] continued on.{{Ref/Anthology|Evo|[[The Return]]|Quote=It was a terrible war. The Prophets provided the Brutes with powerful new weapons, hoping that they would in turn defend their Prophets against our wrath. But when the Prophets went into hiding, the lack of leadership allowed the Brutes to return to their savage nature and they soon began to fight against each other. This lack of solidarity made them much easier prey. Some of my fellow commanders continue that fight even now"}} Cortana and her Created forces attempted to subdue Doisac's violence by enforcing martial law. The [[Banished]] allied with many clans and staged a hard-fought defense against the Created.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p446}} Not all clans would ally with the Banished however, some [[Jiralhanae]] rejected working alongside the [[Sangheili]] seeing such an act to be a sign of poor character,{{Ref/Novel|Id=Envoy2|Env|Chapter=3}} others saw the Banished to be too similar to the [[Covenant]] and were wary of being shackled by oppression again.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p447}}

At an unknown point in time prior to December 2559, [[Concord]] was interdicted by Guardians{{Ref/Game|HI|Detail=[[CBRN module#Mark VII core|MK12T2 CBRN/TRAILWATCH description]]}} and [[Laconia Station]] was destroyed by Created ally [[Leonidas]].{{Ref/Reuse|rep}}

The Created however had some understanding of MJOLNIR architecture, requiring different techniques to subvert that knowledge.{{Ref/Game|Id=coolpack|HI|Detail=[[UTIL attachments#Rakshasa core|UTIL/COOLPACK description]]}} This included utilizing  [[Cryonics|cryonic cooling]]{{Ref/Game|HI|Detail=[[UTIL attachments#Rakshasa core|UTIL/COOLSHOT description]]}} and [[Human starship|starship]] cooling tech.{{Ref/Reuse|coolpack}} As well, AI-designed hardware was feared compromised forcing the use of updated, but archaic technologies.{{Ref/Game|HI|Detail=[[TAC/RS/MIDNIGHT|TAC/RS/MIDNIGHT description]]}} Some experimental armor components were built as well, such as the [[FCI-I attachments|FCI-I/SPDR/TRAPDOOR]].{{Ref/Game|HI|Detail=[[FCI-I attachments|FCI-I/SPDR/TRAPDOOR description]]}}

{{Main|Second Ark Conflict}}

At the same time as the Created conflict but disconnected from it, a conflict was raging between the [[Banished]] and the forces of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} on [[Installation 00]]. [[James Cutter|Captain James Cutter]] of the ship and [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] formulated a plan to deploy [[Installation 09]] to the [[Soell system]] in order to raise a [[distress beacon]] to the UNSC, unaware of the Created's takeover. The first phase of the plan succeeded, and the beacon was planted on Installation 09; however, Anders did not make it off in time before the ring entered slipspace. On its way to the original site of [[Installation 04]], a Guardian forced the ring out of slipspace and confronted Anders on the surface.{{Ref/Level|Id=hw2laststand|HW2|[[Last Stand (Halo Wars 2 level)|Last Stand]]}}

During a resupply operation{{Ref/Reuse|CFNY}} near the end of the year, scout teams from the ''Infinity'' discovered the [[LECHUZA-class Mjolnir]] at an ONI black site. Data related to it was purged from the facility.{{Ref/Generic|Halo Infinite|[[LECHUZA-class Mjolnir|Lechuza]] helmet description}}

The blast would destroy [[Soirapt]], while also ravaging [[Teash]] and [[Warial]]. Teash was able to destroy some of the incoming debris of Doisac with anti-ship artillery and thousands of vessels escaped. The outposts across Warial were destroyed, though a few hundred thousand Jiralhanae managed to evacuate.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p447|Enc22|Page=447}}
