{{Main|Raid on the Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence}}

After the [[Battle of Miridem]] in [[2544]], 'Taralumee's fleet captured [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] while she was [[Cryo-chamber|cryogenically frozen]]; she was then placed aboard 'Taralumee's [[flagship]], ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''. However, magnetic interference placed in the system prevented them from jumping to [[Slipstream space|slipspace]]. He realized the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] would attempt to rescue her and created decoy beacons from [[antimatter charge]]s aboard his ships. When a team of [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTANs]] attacked, he set his trap, detonating one of the charges and killing [[Solomon-069]]. When the rest of the Spartans realized where Halsey was, they headed toward  'Taralumee's [[Covenant assault carrier|assault carrier]]. The Supreme Commander remained confident that the SPARTANs would not make it aboard his ship, arguing with a [[Sangheili Major]], [[Thel 'Lodamee]], who had fought them before and felt that they posed a great threat than 'Taralumee realized. 'Taralumee held the Major in contempt for not dying with the rest of his battalion in the engagement, saying that 'Lodamee ''"...lack[ed] the heart to die with honor."''<ref name="TP"/>
