A [[Covenant loyalists|surviving remnant]] of Truth's former fleet held out in the ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' for years after the war ended, miraculously surviving the faulty firing of [[Installation 08]] from inside of the Forerunner ship.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Sacrifice|SoR|Detail= Adjunct - [[Sacrifice]]}} Led by [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], these were soldiers who had been left behind to guard the [[keyship]] during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], half of whom had tried to draw the UNSC away from their leader's position in the Citadel and thus died in the firing.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} This remnant's survival was discovered when the Banished [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|raided the keyship]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} Subsequently, they became active participants in the [[Second Ark Conflict]], allying themselves with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] in an effort to fire the [[Halo Array]] and cleanse the galaxy. Bhasvod's intention was to clear the galaxy of enemies so that the [[San'Shyuum]] could emerge from hiding. However, the attempt failed, leading to the destruction of the Keepers of the One Freedom and the retreat of Bhasvod to plan his next move.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} | |||
