— Description of the Banished's pragmatic society, from the OFSM.
The Banished are a mercenary group lead by the Jiralhanae warlord Atriox. The Banished have their origins in the late Covenant empire, having broken away after many Jiralhanae were needlessly sacrificed in battle to further the Great Journey. The logo of the Banished is called the Mark of Atriox.
Origins
During the Human-Covenant War, Atriox was sent to fight in 40-man teams of Jiralhanae. In each battle, Atriox was the only survivor. Tired of seeing his compatriots die, Atriox rebelled against the Covenant, thus The Banished was created. Now, its own organization separate from the Covenant, The Banished began fighting against the Covenant before the Great Schism.
Expansion Amidst Chaos
Between the Battle of Algolis and the end of the Covenant War, the fledgling Banished lacked an expert engineer. Decimus was thus tasked with finding one. He tracked down a Kig-Yar scientist named Sig Raan on Otraak. Decimus initially tried to convince the Covenant scientist, but instead she used the opportunity to test a new device on Decimus and his men; one that would let her control a hive of Yanme'e. Before she could kill the Brutes, Atriox stormed in, cleansing the hive and killing Sig. Atriox smashed the device, saying he preferred those who joined out of their own free will. In early 2550, the Office of Naval Intelligence began to take notice of The Banished. Specifically after The Banished's attack and theft from the Carter Guard Armory. For the rest of the year, The Banished turned toward the Covenant primarily, raiding and recruiting only to have ONI notice this trail after Codename: Slow Dive. Desperate to gain any assistance in the Human-Covenant war, one ONI agent proposed making a deal with Atriox.
The Post-War Era
At some point after the Great Schism, some Sangheili sought revenge and embarked upon a genocidal campaign against the Jiralhanae. One such Sangheili group was the Silent Shadow. After killing several Jiralhanae pacts in various systems, they killed the Banished aboard Atriox's ship, the Elegy's Lament, and attempted to kill him as well. Atriox told the Silent Shadow that he was not like Tartarus or the High Prophet of Truth, and that he and his Jiralhanae in the Banished were different than the ones who massacared the Sangheili during the Great Schism. He also told them that they should rejoice that the Covenant had fallen. After viewing Atriox as "other", the Silent Shadow were convinced to join the Banished, with the exception of the Silent Shadow's First Blade leader still blood thirsty for revenge who was killed by his own squad. The largest acquisition by The Banished happened in 2553. The CAS-class assault carrier Enduring Conviction and its crew would fall under control of Atriox. In the December of that year, a Banished Flotilla was in the Nereus system. Admiral Serin Osman suspected the group of being the culprits on an attack on the UNSC Donoma. Atriox's Chieftains led divisions of Banished into Jiralhanae colonies and human criminal enterprises to build connections and spread their influence. Atriox was open to recruiting capable assets of any species, and humans have joined the Banished. Prior to September 2558, Hekabe of Maardoth came into conflict with The Banished, killing the Chieftain Odanostos. In the November of 2558, The Banished arrived at Installation 00. However, The Banished maintained some operations in the Orion Arm. After arriving, the Banished assaulted the Henry Lamb Research Outpost and killed most who were in the base.
Zeta Halo
Atriox gathered more forces and, with an armada of at least three warships, attacked and boarded the UNSC Infinity nearby Installation 07. The Battle of Zeta Halo was a disaster to the UNSC forces, and the Master Chef itself, John-117 was defeated by Atriox. The battle then deplaced to the Halo's surface. Six months later, Atriox is said to have died, and was succeeded by Escharum. The battle was still fought on the ring, though the human defenders had been, by then, almost annihilated. Then, the Master Chief was recovered, and he led the UNSC counterattack, devastating the Banished forces and eventually killing Escharum. Atriox then was uncovered to having survived too.
Assets
The Banished's assets mainly consist of Covenant assets slightly modified to fit their unique design aesthetic. Some Forerunner technology used by the Banished were purchased from Black markets on Venezia and other Outer Colonies.
