Returning to the [[People's Palace]] in [[Rinale]] on [[2553#July|July 6, 2553]], Casille made a cabinet proclamation demanding Aponte's resignation with Casille intending to take his place.<ref name="ll268"/> With Casille gaining the majority votes from the Cabinet of Ministers in his proclamation, Aponte was forced to resign and Casille became the President of the Gao Republic. Aware that Casille was likely to openly attack the UNSC forces, the 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion prepared to evacuate the planet with the captured ancilla.<ref name="ll291">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 291-293''</ref> Shortly after becoming president, Casille ordered the [[Gao battle-jumpers]] and [[Wyvern]]s to attack the UNSC forces on Gao. Learning that Lopis had apparently been captured by the Spartans, Casille contacted her on her [[COM pad]] in an attempt to locate her and the Spartans, who held the ancilla. When Lopis accused him of bringing war to Gao to his own benefit, Casille played innocent and offered her the position as Minister of Protection. Realizing that Casille knew that Lopis was working with the Spartans and that he only cared about recovering the ancilla, Lopis mislead the president about her location before have the Spartans destroy her COM pad. Falling for Lopis' trick, Casille had most of the Wyverns search Gao's [[Singing Grottos]] for the Spartans and Lopis, when they were actually traveling to Gao's [[Well of Echoes]] to destroy the [[Covert Support Base 4276|Forerunner installation]] hidden within the Montero Cave System.<ref name="ll366"/> Ultimately, the Spartans and Lopis succeeded in destroying the installation with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] at the Well of Echoes and escaping Gao aboard an Owl, with the ancilla in tow.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 376-379''</ref> Realizing that he had been fooled by Lopis, Casille diverted nearly all of Gao's Wyverns to pursue her and the Spartans, however they managed to return to the UNSC task force safely. With most of Gao's forces pursuing the ancilla, the surviving elements of the 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion were able to evacuate from Gao and return to their task force in orbit, despite the efforts of the [[Gao Space Navy]]. The UNSC left the system shortly after.<ref name="ll380">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 380-384''</ref> | Returning to the [[People's Palace]] in [[Rinale]] on [[2553#July|July 6, 2553]], Casille made a cabinet proclamation demanding Aponte's resignation with Casille intending to take his place.<ref name="ll268"/> With Casille gaining the majority votes from the Cabinet of Ministers in his proclamation, Aponte was forced to resign and Casille became the President of the Gao Republic.

Following the end of the conflict, Casille was applauded by many Gao citizens for forcing the UNSC away from the planet. Casille oversaw the crater that had once been the Well of Echoes and the destroyed Forerunner installation from ''[[Independence]]'', a [[Basilisk forward command-and-control craft]]. Casille spoke with Aponte loyalist Minister Baez, who made it clear that Casille would have difficulty keeping his failed hunt for the ancilla and his machinations secret from the public. Casille additionally intended to keep the HAVOK's detonation a secret, as he knew that if it became public, his backers would push him to retaliate against the UNSC in a fight that Gao could not win. Seeking an experience commander to keep Gao's soldiers quiet on the events that transpired, Casille agreed to have Baez on his cabinet with the minister explaining the crater as the result of a UNSC [[prowler]] that exploded after being brought down by GMoP corvettes.<ref name="ll380"/> While Casille had hoped that Castor had died in the conflict, the Jiralhanae [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] had actually survived and now sought revenge on the president for his treachery.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 393''</ref> | Following the end of the conflict, Casille was applauded by many Gao citizens for forcing the UNSC away from the planet.
