=== Fall of Reach ===
Nostrum and his troops were deployed to Reach to assist the local Covenant forces to capture the planet. When Uhze arrived on the planet he was assigned to the town of Ivory Square. When he arrived, he deployed several troops and other battalions around the town in hopes of using it as a future staging area. 
A couple hours later, a demon and several squads of humans came to the town and attacked it in force. Nostrum then encountered a single ODST solider who attacked him. Uhze was almost killed by a gauss cannon from the solider but was able to escape. 
Nostrum was then assigned to join Krudomee in uncovering the largest Forerunner relics in history. While on the hunt, he was ordered to deal with remaining human forces. While Krudomee faced little human resistance, he enjoyed toiling with the marines he captured, and mocked them until he killed them by rising their limbs off.
However, while his troops and himself were stationed at the base, the celling collapse above them, forcing them into cover. Krudomee and his troops were forced underground for days, using meat from dead creatures from inside the ice to survive. Soon, Nostrumee was able to find Krudomee and his squads via weak radio transmissions and a glassing beam coming right by the Sangheili warriors.
=== Battle of Earth ===
During the Battle of Earth, Nostrum joined the first phase of the ground assault. He was deployed to New Mombasa to attack defending UNSC forces. While on the ground, Nostrum attacked a local UNSC compound lead by a UNSC General. While the humans unleashed gauss cannons at the inbound Covenant, Uhze and a small squad of specialist to infiltrate the base and destroy it from within. While in the base, the squad was discovered by a fireteam of soldiers who opened fire at the elites. 
Uhze and his troops were able to dispose of the squad but the base was alerted to their presence. Uhze then ordered his troops to flee while he planted more explosives around the base. After his troops escaped, he detonated the bombs and destroyed a large portion of the base and killed a majority of the general's troops. Nostrum was also rendered unconscious and found by the human general crawling on the ground. Though they are without weapons, Nostrum refused to kill him until he picked up a magnum and was killed by Uhze. 
Uhze was then recalled by his new Fleet Master, Mortuus, a Brute Chieftain. Though Uhze held no hatred for Mortuus, he still followed orders from Fleet Master Krudomee and thus joined him on an attack. He took his brothers and rose above and began an inside rebellion against Mortuus. When Krudomee arrived at the bridge of the United Covenant and attacked Mortuus. 
After their duel, Mortuus was killed and Krudomee took control of the United Covenant and the rest of the Fleet of Gracious Flight, which held around ten ships. Krudomee then began to glass some of the planet, but soon realized that more Sangheili joined the UNSC and thus left back for Sanghelios.
== Post-War Era ==
After the war officially came to an end in March of 2553, Krudom was outraged at the fact of the lost for his species. Later in 2554, he began to recruit, in secret, members for his new fleet which he would use to destroy what he could not. Once he massed a large enough force, he and his new fleet moved out and attacked the colony world of Vixel to begin their campaign.
=== Battle of San Andreas ===
Once the Fleet of Regretful Redemption arrived at the human colony, Krudom wasted no time in running nighttime assaults and early invasions. After half of the city of San Andreas were captured, Krudom set up a stable base and other outpost around their conquered territory. Krudom and his second-in-command, Governor Ooskoo stayed inside the San Andreas Botanical Gardens and used it as a command center.  
However, on June 28th 2558, both Krudom and Ooskoo learned of and Field Marshal who would not kill civilians as ordered by Krudom himself and thus was arrested. Due to this arrest, an inside rebellion began and Krudom learned that the Field Marshal was his old friend Uhze Nostrum. 
Krudom thought he had ended his former friend's life by forcing him off a cliff, but it soon realized that Nostrum was alive and began to lead the rebellion, attacking cargo transports and shipments of new troops and supplies from Sangheili colonies. Eventually, new UNSC forces came and recaptured a majority of conquered land from Krudom's lieutenants.
After a series of raids against Krudom's forces, aid came to the separatist in the form of UNSC soldiers. Nostrum called out to the UNSC for aid which they responded with the aid he had required. However, Krudom soon launched an attack on the station and forced all to evacuate. The UNSC were able to get 'Solok's troops out while he and another squad defended the main gate. Afterwards, 'Solok met with Nostrum and a spartan but were blocked due to heavy rubble. 'Solok and his troops escaped the base and located a new position of Fox Hole.

'Solo along with a team of separatist, a spartan and Nostrum attack the main Covenant stronghold within the Industrial District of the city. While Nostrum led the main attack, 'Solok took the spartan past the stronghold to met with other members of the human's squad and later rejoined the Field Marshal. He later saved Nostrum and the Spartan from a team of loyalist after the destruction of half the city to a Covenant nuke. 
==== Conclusion ====
After a plan is formed to kill Krudom and his troops, Nostrum orders 'Solok and the remaining separatist off world with agreement from the UNSC. 'Solok then reluctantly agreed and fled the city with his men. Eventually, Krudom and Nostrum engaged each other in an Honor duel where Krudom would kill Nostrum after using a needler against him, breaking the Sangheili code of Honor. Afterwards, Roderick-A207 who was with Nostrum, killed Krudom and effectively ended the battle.
