===Ussa 'Xellus' insurgency===

While most Sangheili willingly—or begrudgingly—joined the new Covenant, there were those who resented what they viewed as submission to the San'Shyuum. The Covenant sought to make an example of these dissenters, silencing those who rejected the new union with overwhelming force. An incarnation of the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] formed at this time to bring the holdouts to the Writ of Union to heel. The resistance movement would come to be led by the Sangheili [[Ussa 'Xellus]], a skilled strategist and veteran of the war. After the [[Xellus keep]] was attacked by a Covenant air raid, the civil war expanded across [[Sanghelios]]. Because of their inferior numbers 'Xellus and his followers were soon driven into hiding in the desolate region of [[Nwari]]. However, 'Xellus would travel across Sangheili colonies, looking for dissidents he could recruit to his cause. After the like-minded elder Sangheili [['Crecka]] showed him [[The Refuge]], 'Xellus intended to make the Forerunner world his new base of operations and home for his people. Ussa and his followers soon left the Nwari region for the [[shield world]] as Covenant assassins closed in on their location.{{Ref/Reuse|bcpreview}}

Eventually the Refuge was discovered by the Covenant and a fleet was sent to destroy the insurgents. However, Ussa activated the shield world's Disassembler process, which convinced the Covenant that the rebels had been killed. However, the Sangheili rebels—now known as the [[Ussans]]—lived on in the disparate components of the shield world,<ref name="bc182">'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 182-183''</ref> even after the Covenant's [[Great Schism|dissolution]] in [[2552]].<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 291-294''</ref>
