Primus imprisons himself and Unicron within the core of a barren planetoid orbiting within a planetary nebula, both weakened and separated from their energy forms, their Heralds and their armies. For thousands of years as they recover their strength, the planetary nebula around them begins to coalesce into a solar system of planets and moons, with their prison accreting planetary material as the eons pass. This solar system would be known as the Hadean System, with Primus's and Unicron's planetary prison becoming the fourth planet that orbits its sun Hadean (also known as Shaula by the humans of Earth in the far future).

As the two gods' strength recovers, their energies react with the minerals forming within the planet, producing crystalline energon deposits that grow and spread throughout their prison, giving them a dim awareness of their surroundings.

After eons of searching the universe, Primon discovers his creator's prison, drawn by the growing signal of Primus's energon signature. He summons the Primus Vanguard and the rest of the Covenant from across the universe to join him, recognizing Unicron's dark energon signature within the planet that also imprisons Primus.

Alerted by the Covenant's reunification, the Heralds of Unicron converge on the prison of the two brothers to rescue their master, engaging their opposite numbers in combat. Their titanic battle is enough to shake the entire Hadean System and destroy entire worlds. With Primon and the Primus Vanguard leading them on the frontlines, the fighting forces of the Covenant battle against the minions of the Chaos-Bringer as they protect the caverns leading to the fourth planet's core to prevent their enemies from freeing Unicron. Eventually, the Covenant cemented themselves warriors of legendary status by vanquishing the Adversaries from the Void once and for all.

With their enemies finally defeated, the Covenant descend into the planet's underground, going through seemingly endless tunnels until they reach the core, where they find Primus's AllSpark and Unicron's Anti-Spark trapped within. They are able to make contact with Primus through the AllSpark, who congratulates them for their victory over the Adversaries from the Void. He explains to them that while Unicron is neutralized for the moment, he fears that he'll eventually regain his strength and escape from his prison in order to continue his plans of universal destruction. He then reveals to them his Grand Plan, stating that he'll use the AllSpark's life-giving powers to create a new species that'll serve in his stead as the universe's last line of defense against the Chaos-Bringer if he ever escaped from his prison. Before going hibernation within the planet's core, Primus tasks the Covenant to teach his Children about their world and help them thrive while he reshapes his prison into a living world.

With their new goal laid clear, the Covenant decide amongst themselves to name their new homeworld Primordion.

As the Hadean System enters the stability of planetary maturity and bombardment from space slows to a halt, the combination of the AllSpark's energies pulsating through the energon deposits networking through Primordion, solar energy from the star, and the chemical composition of the planet, its oceans and atmosphere triggers the emergence of primitive life, at first simple cells able to feed on the energy of Primus, but gradually evolving into ever more complex forms.
