Servants of the Abiding Truth

The Servants of Abiding Truth (In ancient Sangheili, Neru Pe 'Odosima), are an ancient religious order on Sanghelios, predating the Sangheili-San 'Shyuum War. They follow pre-Covenant beliefs, that any tampering with Forerunner technology is a grievous sin. Since the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and the Sangheili armed forces use weapons and technology that were engineered from Forerunner technology, the Servants consider them blasphemous. However, as Jul 'Mdama observed, they have no problem using blasphemous weapons and technology to achieve their goals.

The Servants have a headquarters inside a Forerunner structure in the state of Ontom on Sanghelios, which they have converted into a weapons cache and base of operations for their rebellion against the Arbiter and his forces.

In 2553, the United Nations Space Command's Office of Naval Intelligence, with the help of a civilian consultant named Evan Phillips, made contact with Avu Med 'Telcam, a bishop and representative of the Servants. They agreed to arm them with Sangheili weapons in exchange for the Servants leaving humanity alone if they seized power. ONI's true goal is to destabilize Sanghelios.
