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 known as "[[Nothing]]" 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.{{Ref/Novel|Out|Chapter=Epilogue}} However, the weapon also destroyed the [[Netherop species|local civilization]] and the planet, turning Netherop from a lush garden world into a barely-habitable wasteland.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out17|Out|17}}


In [[2526]], Netherop was the site of [[Skirmish over Netherop|two]]{{Ref/Novel|SS|1}} [[Battle of Netherop|battles]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]], specifically [[Defenders of the Sanctum|a rogue faction]] led by [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] who sought to destroy [[ONI]] after his humiliation in [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], seeing them as the greatest threat to the Covenant. 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}}
In [[2526]], Netherop was the site of [[Skirmish over Netherop|two]]{{Ref/Novel|SS|1}} [[Battle of Netherop (2526)|battles]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]] and the [[Covenant]]. In the second, a [[Flotilla of Unsung Piety|rogue faction]] of the Covenant led by [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] who sought to destroy the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] after his humiliation in [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], seeing them as the greatest threat to the Covenant. However, Nizat's rogue actions led to the [[Hierarchs]] sending [[Fleet of Swift Justice|a fleet]] to stop him, leading to the destruction or retreat of the flotilla. Nizat and his ground forces were marooned on Netherop's surface with an [[orbital mine shell]] placed in orbit of the planet in order to prevent anyone from coming back for him.

In [[2558#October|October 2558]], a force of artificial intelligences known as the [[Created]], led by [[Cortana]], alongside an army of [[Promethean]]s, rose up and began to [[The Reclamation|subjugate]] the [[Milky Way]] galaxy. A year following this rise, the UNSC and their Sangheili allies were still trying to find a way to stop Cortana's rule. An [[Xenoarchaeology|xenoarchaologist]], [[Keely Iyuska]], was interested in learning and study the remnants of an ancient non-[[Forerunner]] [[List of unidentified species#Netherop|civilization]] on the planet Netherop, site of a [[Battle of Netherop|battle]] between the UNSC and the [[Covenant]] decades earlier. When the Created rised, she couldn't realise her plans.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out2|Out|Chapter=2}} On November 2559, however, Iyuska was contacted and founded by a benefactor to study Netherop and its technology. During her studies, Iyuska managed to find records indicated that a [[Guardian Custode]] was sent to subdue Netherop, and that the planet's civilization had managed to defeat the construct. Instead of informing her benefactor, Iyuska travelled to Sanghelios and inform Spartan [[Olympia Vale]] about her discovery.{{Ref/Reuse|Out2}}
