Ussa 'Xellus: Difference between revisions

Before his death, Ussa documented the history of the Refuge and the Disassembler process. However, by [[2552]], the documents had become difficult to read due to the evolution of the Ussan language.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 204''</ref> At some point, statues of Ussa with Sooln were erected within the [[Hall of the Godminds]] in [[Section Five]] of the Refuge. A sculptural garden featured three-dimensional images of Ussa, including one that portrayed Ussa protectively holding [[Sanghelios]]. Sculptures of Ussa's son and grandson, and Ussa's closest allies, were placed nearby.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 225''</ref> The Refuge, occasionally referred to as the Ussan colony, continued to be the home of the Ussans for over three thousand years. After the Rending, the Refuge's system was named the "[[Ussan system]]" by the Covenant and marked with a scarlet border—meaning forbidden by all. Ussa's rebellion was noted in the ''[[Notes on the History of the Covenant]]'', written by [[Zo Resken]]—the descendant of Mken 'Scre'ah'ben.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 185''</ref> Resken learned of Ussa and his history by the writings of Mken, who wrote of Ussa's possible survival and the Forerunner shield world that may be within the system.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 257''</ref> Ussa's descendants continued to hold the title of [[kaidon]] within the colony. By [[2553]], the colony was ruled by Kaidon [[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]], who made contact with members of the recently dissolved Covenant-mainly Zo Resken and a group of Covenant Separatists. The Ussans were allowed to return to Sanghelios if they pleased, while [[Sluggish Drifter]] repaired Enduring Bias. The monitor, believing it to be Ussa's intent, reconnected the surviving portions of the shield world and formed a small ringworld.<ref name="bc284">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 284-286''</ref>
