The Imperial Admiral also summoned the leadership of the Jiralhanae [[Alpha Tribe]]s to Joyous Exultation under the guise of a peace summit, in truth planning to kill the envoys and deal a decapitating blow to the Jiralhanae leadership. Wattinree also gave [[Shipmaster]] [[Voro Nar 'Mantakree]] command of his own fleet and ordered him to go to [[Onyx]] and prevent the [[Forerunner]] technologies there from falling into [[human]] hands. | The Imperial Admiral also summoned the leadership of the Jiralhanae [[Alpha Tribe]]s to Joyous Exultation under the guise of a peace summit, in truth planning to kill the envoys and deal a decapitating blow to the Jiralhanae leadership.

Wattinree's plans came to an end, however, when a [[NOVA bomb]] aboard ''Sublime Transcendence'', retrieved from [[Reach]] weeks earlier, was accidentally detonated by the [[Unggoy]] [[Kwassass]] and a group of [[Huragok]], obliterating the supercarrier, the Sangheili fleet, and razing Joyous Exultation's surface. Wattinree himself was killed in the blast, depriving the faction of its leader. Mantakree's fleet made it to Onyx and [[Onyx Conflict|engaged the UNSC forces there]]. Mantakree was killed when [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Kurt Ambrose]] sacrificed himself to detonate two [[FENRIS nuclear warhead]]s to deny him access to [[Sarcophagus|the interior]] [[shield world]] while the fleet was eventually wiped out by the Forerunner world's [[Onyx Sentinel|automated defenses]].<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 378''</ref> | Wattinree's plans came to an end, however, when a [[NOVA bomb]] aboard ''Sublime Transcendence'', retrieved from [[Reach]] weeks earlier, was accidentally detonated by the [[Unggoy]] [[Kwassass]] and a group of [[Huragok]], obliterating the supercarrier, the Sangheili fleet, and razing Joyous Exultation's surface.
