In 851 BCE, a civil war broke out on Sanghelios as part of a larger rebellion by the rebel forces of Ussa 'Xellus against the newly formed Covenant.[2]

Bombing of 'Xellus
During a speech by Ussa at his keep, the Covenant would attack him and his forces. They would perform five strafes, with one being shot down by Ussa himself, using a Fire-wand launcher.[2]
Battle
Open war
- "But he refused to listen to reason, and brought war to Sanghelios. Our own keeps responded with . . . less subtle means, subjecting the entire state of ‘Xellus to incredible firepower."
- — Commander Viyo 'Griot to the Prophet of Inner Conviction[2]
Following the bombing, the Rending expanded out into a full civil war on Sanghelios. The magnitude of fighting was such that it would damage underground Forerunner relics. As well, the state of Xellus was bombarded heavily.[2]
Retreat
- Ernicka the Scar-Maker: "To leave our home forever—it makes me ache inside, Ussa."
- Ussa 'Xellus: "We may return someday, or our children will. For now, Sanghelios is wherever we go, Ernicka. We are its true soul."
- — Ussa and Ernicka discuss their retreat from the planet.[2]
Much of the Ussans would take cover in a volcano in Nwari, near the planet's southern pole. There, Ussa had stashed away several starships to take his forces away from the planet. While there, a Covenant spy named Vertikus would attempt to attack Ussa himself. However, Ernicka the Scar-Maker would stop the would-be assassin and a mob would kill him.[2]
