The '''loyalists'''{{Ref/Note|In ''Sacrifice'', these soldiers are only ever referred to as Covenant forces; this name is applied here to help differentiate from actual Covenant-era soldiers from prior to the empire's fall}} are a group of [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers that were assigned as part of the crew of the [[Keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' during the final weeks of [[2552]]. Following the [[Covenant]] empire's fall during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], these soldiers remained inside the Keyship to defend it from intruders, and remained vigilant in their duties and [[Covenant religion|beliefs]] long after the death of the [[Prophet of Truth]] and the firing of [[Installation 08]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Sacrifice|HSoR|Detail= Adjunct - [[Sacrifice]]}} | The '''loyalists'''{{Ref/Note|In ''Sacrifice'', these soldiers are only ever referred to as Covenant forces; this name is applied here to help differentiate from actual Covenant-era soldiers from prior to the empire's fall}} are a group of [[Jiralhanae]] and [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers that were assigned as part of the crew of the [[Keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' during the final weeks of [[2552]].

During the final months of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Prophet of Truth commandeered the ''Anodyne Spirit'' to escape the [[Fall of High Charity]] and head to [[Installation 00|The Ark]] to begin the process of firing the [[Halo Array]]. When his Keyship landed in the [[Mahsko]] region, Truth and his entourage departed for the installation's [[Citadel]], while a charge of Jiralhanae and Kig-Yar soldiers were left with the keyship to fend off potential attackers.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | During the final months of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Prophet of Truth commandeered the ''Anodyne Spirit'' to escape the [[Fall of High Charity]] and head to [[Installation 00|The Ark]] to begin the process of firing the [[Halo Array]].

Stranded on the Ark well outside the [[Milky Way]], the soldiers were able to survive for the ensuing [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|seven years]] thanks to the keyship's ample supply reserves, seemingly in hiding from the exploration and discovery of the Ark by [[UNSC]] forces.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | ||
