When the war ended in [[852 BCE]], Ussa was opposed to the unification of the Sangheili and San'Shyuum to form the [[Covenant]], believing that the Sangheili were surrendering themselves to the San'Shyuum. In [[851 BCE]], 'Xellus warned the residents of Xellus to not trust the Covenant or the San'Shyuum. Some of the keep's residents did not agree with Ussa and reported his heresy to Covenant authorities. In response, attack fighters were sent by the Covenant to fire upon [[Xellus keep]]. The fighters dropped explosive charges on the keep's plaza, instantly killing numerous Sangheili. During the assault, Ussa succeeded in destroying one of the crafts. Ultimately, the keep was destroyed and hundreds of the keep's inhabitants were killed. However, the survivors were led by Ussa and they fled to the region of [[Nwari]] at Sanghelios' southern pole. Ussa and his followers hid within a dormant volcano in the region and used their clan's funds to purchase vehicles for the rebellion.

Ussa and his mate, [[Sooln 'Xellus|Sooln]], travelled to the Sangheili mining colony of [[Creck]] on Ussa's personal vessel, ''[[Clan's Blade]]'', to recruit followers into their insurgency, disguised as engineers. Ussa's informant on Creck, [[Muskem]], died after he allegedly fell into a boiling pit of magma by accident. After several failed recruitment attempts at the planet's mines, Ussa and Sooln encountered the elderly [['Crecka]] waiting for them at their ship at a [[spaceport]]. Although he was initially reluctant to trust 'Crecka, the Sangheili revealed that he knew of a Forerunner world, [[Shield World 0673]], that Ussa and his insurgents could use as refuge. Intrigued, Ussa had 'Crecka lead them to the [[shield world]], where the three Sangheili entered its interior. After landing, they explored the world's artificial ecosystem until they encountered Shield World 0673's [[monitor]], [[Enduring Bias]]. The monitor allowed the Sangheili to live on the world in refuge, as long as they informed it of their intentions. The Sangheili were able to convince the monitor and Ussa returned to Nwari, Sanghelios to transport the rest of his allies to the shield world. Back in Nwari, Ussa's allies eagerly awaited his return. As Covenant assassins began to close in on Ussa's camp, he realized that there was likely a spy among his group. Without informing anyone else of his plan to detect the spy, Ussa delivered a speech to his followers informing them to prepare to leave for a new home of refuge. As the group began to pack up, [[Vertikus]] asked where they were going. Ussa avoided directly answering his question; he only told Vertikus that their new home was far from Sanghelios. Frustrated, Vertikus revealed himself as the spy and charged at Ussa with a [[burnblade]]. Ernicka defended Ussa and disarmed the spy. Although Ussa attempted to order his followers to capture Vertikus for interrogation, the spy was ripped apart by a mob of ten angry Sangheili before Ussa could finish giving out the command. Eventually, the Sangheili finished packing up and departed for the shield world.<ref name="hbc c1"/> | Ussa and his mate, [[Sooln 'Xellus|Sooln]], travelled to the Sangheili mining colony of [[Creck]] on Ussa's personal vessel, ''[[Clan's Blade]]'', to recruit followers into their insurgency, disguised as engineers.
