Following the [[Great Schism]], some [[Sangheili]] continued their genocidal campaign against the [[Jiralhanae]] out of hatred. One such group was [[Resa 'Azavayl]]'s Elite squad of the [[Silent Shadow]]. After slaughtering various Jiralhanae [[packs]] across various solar systems, the Silent Shadow boarded Atriox's [[SDV-class heavy corvette]] ''[[Elegy's Lament]]''. The Silent Shadow slaughtered several of the Jiralhanae crewmen aboard, until they encountered Atriox who talked them down. Atriox stated that he and the Banished were different from the Jiralhanae led by [[Tartarus]] and the [[High Prophet of Truth]], who had betrayed and massacred the Sangheili. Upon hearing this distinction, 'Azavayl's squad began to see the Banished as "other". Atriox then told them that they should rejoice that the traitorous Covenant was no more and invited them to join the Banished, to which 'Azavayl's squad expressed they were open to. 'Azavayl himself continued to harbor hatred toward Atriox for being a Jiralhanae, to which Atriox dismissed that vengeance was petty. 'Azavayl attacked Atriox but was killed by his Silent Shadow brethren who wanted to join the Banished. Atriox happily recruited them.<ref>[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]] [[Hunting Party]]</ref> | Following the [[Great Schism]], some [[Sangheili]] continued their genocidal campaign against the [[Jiralhanae]] out of hatred.

He devised a plan to meet with its Sangheili [[Shipmaster]], [[Let 'Volir]]. Atriox and his Banished attacked a Sangheili-led base resulting in 'Volir and his forces deploying to the base to defend it. This left ''Enduring Conviction'' vulnerable for a separate Banished strike force to raid and capture the mostly vacant ship.
