After the [[Battle of Miridem]] in [[2544]], 'Taralumee's fleet captured [[Catherine 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 [[CAS-class 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 greater 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."'' | After the [[Battle of Miridem]] in [[2544]], 'Taralumee's fleet captured [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] while she was [[Cryo-chamber|cryogenically frozen]]; she was then placed aboard 'Taralumee's [[flagship]], ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''.

After the SPARTANs boarded the ship and advanced toward Halsey, 'Taralumee ordered that sections of the ship to be detached. However, [[John-117]] nonetheless continued toward Halsey and retrieved her from her cryo-chamber. Soon, his fleet cleared the magnetic interference and began the jump to Slipspace, breaking off the entire lower section of the assault carrier before he left, in an attempt to kill the two [[human]]s. One of his [[Unidentified Sangheili bridge officer|bridge officers]] noted that this action would abandon 'Lodamee and his accompanying forces; however, the Supreme Commander disregarded this, remarking that 'Lodamee was already shamed and could only regain his honor by dying or by becoming an [[Arbiter]].
