The [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]], against the wishes of the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]], led a badly planned mission to "Erde-Tyrene" as he did not know that the planet was the [[human]] homeworld, [[Earth]], inadvertently beginning the [[Battle of Earth]]. He escaped to [[Installation 05]], where he was [[Assassination of the Prophet of Regret|assassinated]] by [[John-117]]. Using Regret's death as a justification, the Prophet of Truth set in action his plan to [[Changing of the Guard|replace]] the Sangheili with Jiralhanae as their [[Covenant Honor Guard|protectors]]. However, this move resulted in great turmoil within the Covenant, with the Sangheili threatening to resign from the [[High Council]]. Truth then gave command of the [[Covenant fleet]]s to the Jiralhanae, a post previously held by the Sangheili. Once there were enough of them in place, Truth secretly ordered them to commit a vicious genocide of the Sangheili (disguised as a retaliation to a Sangheili revolt against the other Covenant factions) so they may replace them in society. Soon, all-out war had broken out. | ||
In response to the betrayal, the Sangheili started a rebellion composed of groups colloquially known as the ''Covenant separatists'', supported by both many [[Unggoy]] and [[Mgalekgolo]]. During the early hours of the conflict, the movement lacked centralized leadership, but several leaders would soon emerge. The [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] rescued several of the few surviving [[Sangheili High Councilor]]s from Jiralhanae captivity and met up with [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee on [[Installation 05]], forming the [[Fleet of Retribution]]. Concurrently, [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] took command of a large fleet of surviving Sangheili ships, including most of the [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]]. | In response to the betrayal, the Sangheili started a rebellion composed of groups colloquially known as the ''Covenant separatists'', supported by both many [[Unggoy]] and [[Mgalekgolo]].
