A timeline of all major events in the Halo universe from the time of the Forerunners through the rule of the Created.
The Great Schism was a conflict between the forces loyal to the Covenant, led mostly by the Jiralhanae, and the Sangheili, beginning on November 3rd, 2552 and continuing off and on until the Rule of the Created in 2558.
At the start of the Covenant in 851 BCE, a group of Sangheili who did not agree with the peace being formed with the San'Shyuum, formed around their leader Ussa 'Xellus and escaped to a previously unknown Forerunner construct known as Shield World 0673.
The Attack on Rahnelo was an unprovoked attack by the San'Shyuum Prelate Tem'Bhetek, directed by the former Covenant Minister of Preparation Boru'a'Neem, on the Sangheili colony world of Rahnelo towards the end of 2553.
The Ambush at Duraan was the second part of the prelate Tem'Bhetek's plan to lure in the Shadow of Intent, capture the ship, and kill Rtas 'Vadum.
The Battle of the Prototype Halo Installation was a conflict between Tem'Bhetek, the former Covenant Minister of Preparation Boru'a'Neem, and the Shadow of Intent crew including Rtas 'Vadum and Tul 'Juran.
