... I'm assuming that was a copy-paste error.

===The chase===
Gargantum's ship, along with the ''[[Revenant (ship)|Revenant]]'' and another frigate, followed the ''Incorruptible'' as it tried to escape. When the ship ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' dropped out of [[slipspace]] nearby, Gargantum hailed it and discovered it was controlled by a [[Blue Team|team of Spartans]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 223''</ref>

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, his name does not contain the "us" suffix that normally signifies adulthood in [[Jiralhanae]] culture. This most likely indicates that Jiralhanae from different areas or tribes may use different suffixes (though "us" is still clearly the most widely used). More evidence of this comes from the Brute Chieftain [[Parabum]], who shares this unusual naming scheme.
