During the [[Forerunner-Precursor war]], [[Precursor]] fugitives took refuge on the planet [[Netherop]] with the Tier 6 civilization already inhabiting it. When a [[Guardian Custode]] attacked, the Precursors used their weapon, the [[Divine Hand]], to destroy the Guardian. However, the weapon also destroyed the local civilization and the planet, turning Netherop from a lush inhabitable world into a barely inhabitable wasteland.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out17|Out|17}} | During the [[Forerunner-Precursor war]], [[Precursor]] fugitives took refuge on the planet [[Netherop]] with the Tier 6 civilization already inhabiting it.

However, Nizat's rogue actions led to the [[Hierarchs]] sending a fleet to stop him, leading to the destruction or retreat of the [[Flotilla of Unyielding Piety]]. Nizat and his ground forces were exiled on Netherop's surface with an [[orbital mine shell]] being placed in orbit of the planet in order to prevent anyone from coming back for him. In addition, [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Amalea Petrov]] and some of her forces were left stranded on Netherop as well.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv}} Over the next thirty-three years, the UNSC and Covenant survivors fought each other, resulting in the death of most of Nizat's forces, leaving only Nizat himself and six others while the humans numbers continued to grow as the stranded survivors had children and families.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=7}}{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=9}} | ||
