On [[2554|April 22, 2554]], Jul 'Mdama's forces fought against the Swords of Sanghelios' ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' and managed to leave the ship combat ineffective.<ref name="Catalog">[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm2969315_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post2969315 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction - Page 14'']</ref>

By 2558, Jul 'Mdama's Covenant were ravaged by multiple defeats in battles with UNSC and betrayals from within. One of his Zealots, [[Sali 'Nyon]], would lead a revolt, killing those loyal to 'Mdama and seizing control of {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', taking her back into Sangheili space to rally further support among the Covenant remnants. However Jul's forces on Sanghelios still continued their stand-off against the Arbiter, until his [[Battle of Kamchatka|death]] later that year. With no leader, Jul's Covenant could not withstand joint UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios strike forces at [[Sunaion]] and were completely destroyed.
