| As a [[Technological Achievement Tiers|Tier 2]] species, the [[Sangheili]] had surveyed and colonized many planets in the centuries before and after the formation of the [[Covenant]].

| ==History==
| |
| After achieving space flight, the Sangheili began traveling from [[Sanghelios]] to colonize other worlds. The moons [[Qikost]] and [[Suban]] were among the first colonized, with the Sangheili setting up armories on Qikost<ref name="HBC1" > '''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> and mines on Suban.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 128''</ref> Other worlds were soon colonized. The Sangheili spread to the stars searching for both resources that could be used, and planets which contained [[Forerunner]] relics to worship. By the time of the [[San'Shyuum-Sangheili War]], there were a total of seventy-six Sangheili colonies.<ref name="HBC1"/> It was on one such world, [[Ulgethon]], that the Sangheili would encounter the San'Shyuum.<ref>'''[[Halo 2 Anniversary]]''', [[Terminal/Halo 2 Anniversary|Terminal 5]]</ref>

| | |
| Following the end of the war and the formation of the Covenant, Sangheili colonies became anchor points for Covenant. While ''[[High Charity]]'' was the political center of the alliance, Sanghelios and its colonies became the place where warriors would be recruited for the [[Covenant military]]. After Sanghelios, the important worlds were Sangheili fortress worlds, examples of which include [[Joyous Exultation|Saepon'kal]] and [[Malurok]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/factions/covenant '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Covenant'']</ref>

| Following the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Sangheili were thrown into political turmoil, lacking a centralized government. While some colonies, like [[Hesduros]], would join the [[Covenant remnants]], most colonies joined with Sanghelios under [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]'s new [[Swords of Sanghelios]], fighting off the other remnant groups and the [[Jiralhanae]].<ref name="Catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction - Page 14'']</ref> The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] found it difficult to track the true extent of the Sangheili colonial sphere and the military growth present in the dozens of active Sangheili colonial polities, particularly due to their differing political structures.<ref>'''[[Eleventh Hour reports]]''' - ''Report 2''</ref>
