Middangeard has largely been forgotten in recent history - it lacked sufficient infrastructure to harbour refugees during the war, and was on the opposite of UNSC space to Earth as the Covenant wiped out the UNSC's colonies. Afterward it became a diplomatic point of contact between the UNSC and Sangheili, and was witness to the Battle of Middangeard. Researchers have so far been unable to determine what, if anything, caused its inhabitants to abandon the planet, or even who they were in the first place. Sangheili researchers have proposed that they were the ancestors of the Kaaranese Sangheili, but the question then becomes; \"how did a pre-atomic civilisation reach a planet thousands of lightyears away, and what were Sangheili doing on Middangeard in the first place?\""@en .
