Assault on Vadam

Since it's implied that the war will continue, should the "assault on Vadam" have its own page as a battle? File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 15:26, 23 October 2012 (EDT)

I'd vote for it, but I'm not an admin. The Civil War started after the Brute rebellion and also raged in other states.--Thijsbos 18:32, 23 October 2012 (EDT)
Doesn't seem necessary right now, given how little info we have on the rest of the conflict; a page on the battle at Vadam alone would mostly be a duplicate of the information in this article. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 01:48, 24 October 2012 (EDT)
Yeah I figured, just thought I'd ask. File:Colonel Grade One.pngCol. Snipes450File:Colonel Grade One.png 02:11, 24 October 2012 (EDT)

Arbiter Loyalists

Should a new article be made for the Arbiter loyalists as a new faction?.—This unsigned comment was made by 72.80.103.245 (talkcontribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

We don't really have enough information at this point to warrant having an article.--Spartacus TalkContribs 17:48, 12 December 2012 (EST)

Well i've researched this faction and the only information I could find was this: 1.)Known Belligerents- Thel'Vadam(Arbiter), Cadan 'Ilmir, the unknown ship pilot(the one who escorted Kilo-Five in Ontom before they entered the Foreruner temple), Levu 'Mdama and the Elder of Lacalu Keep. 2.)Known Infantry- Numerous Sangheili and Unggoy(since they work for Sangheili). 3.)Known Equipement and Vehicles- Anti-air battteries(In the State of Vadam/Vadam Keep), Banshees, Comm intercepts, and radar. They could also possibly have Wraiths, Ghosts, and Phantoms. 4.)Known Arbiter Loyalists locations- State of Vadam(Vadam Keep), State of Acroli with Lacalu Keep(except Nes'alun Keep),Hilot, and Chaura. 5.)Known Ships- 5 cruisers and one escort ship, 4 of which are Axiom(Destroyed),Devotion(Destroyed),Far Vision(Destroyed),Swordsman(Operational), and Unknown escort ship(Fate unknown though possibly still operational). 6.)Political Information- Leader-Arbiter, Language-Sangheili and Capitol-Vadam Keep/State of Vadam. 7.)History- Formed after the Human-Covenant War, the Arbiter Loyalists are the forces loyal to the Arbiter, Thel 'Vadam. The Arbiter Loyalists follow the Arbiter along with the rules of the peace treaty between them and the UNSC/UEG. During the Sangheili civil war, the Arbiter Loyalists fought against the Servants of Abiding Truth and their allies. During the Assault on Vadam, the Loyalists were sustaining losses due to the Servant's of Abiding Truth's massive presence surrounding Vadam Keep. However, the tide turned when the UNSC Infinity arrived and began to fire on the rebel forces. The rebel forces, sensing defeat, began to retreat from Sanghelios with the help of ONI, which destroyed some of Vadam's ships to retain the stalemate between the two factions. The assault ended with most of the rebels' forces destroyed while some managed to escape to New Llanelli. The Loyalist forces were left with a Pyrrhic victory with cities damged throughout the Northern Hemisphere of Sanghelios. Is this information enough for its own article, and could the siege of Nes'alun Keep be added to this article?19:16, 15 December 2012 (EST)

Nes'alun keep

Should we consider the "Raid/Massacre at Nes'alun keep" a part of the civil war, and if so should we include it on this page? It was between forces loyal to the Arbiter and 'Telcam, and the battle mostly occurred because of the civil war. Mortal Dictata seems to imply that it was a part of the civil war as well. - NightHammer (talk) 18:43, 1 August 2014 (EDT)

I'd say put it here. I get the feeling that a lot of the fighting was mostly grudges against real people than any sort of ideological reasons (Raia herself states that many of the forces helping the Servants don't really have much in common beyond hatred of the Arbiter). We also may want to consider broadening this to include other battles, such a the run ins between Thel 'Vadam's Covenant and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, and whatever information we have from the 11th hour reports. Otherwise, we're just talking about the Siege of Vadam, not the civil war. -- SFH (talk) 19:44, 1 August 2014 (EDT)
Yes, I agree. The page should be used for all major Sangheili v. Arbiter conflicts, not just Arbiter v. 'Telcam conflicts. - NightHammer (talk) 19:59, 1 August 2014 (EDT)

Name

Technically isn't this conflict taking place just on Sanghelios? Wouldn't a more appropriate name be "Sanghelios" Civil War? Lord Hierarch (talk) 16:00, 19 August 2014 (EDT)Lord Hierarch
