History

Following the Collapse, the Awoken colonized the asteroid and developed it into a key military fortress. In the closing days of the Reef Wars, Skolas, Wolf Kell marshaled his remaining forces to launch a final, desperate attack on 65 Cybele known as the Cybele Uprising. His plan was leaked to the Awoken ahead of time by Variks, the Loyal, who had become disillusioned with the House of Wolves' cause due to Skolas' brutal methods. When Skolas attacked the fortress, the bulk of the Reef's armada was waiting for him. The Cybele Uprising resulted in Skolas' capture and imprisonment in the Prison of Elders, and brought the Reef Wars to an end.[citation needed]
