Shortly after the [[Writ of Union]] between the Reformists and the [[Sangheili]] was signed and the [[Covenant]] was established, the [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]] led a team to Janjur Qom to retrieve a group of willing, fertile females to restock the breeding population on ''[[High Charity]]'' and to steal a [[Luminary]] in the [[grotto of the Great Transition]]. When the group landed on the planet's surface, they made their way to the grotto and eventually discovered the Luminary and the [[Purifying Vision of the Holy Path]].
