Sometime after the Battle of Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} into a trap, using assault craft supposedly recovered from the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} to draw ''Infinity'' into Covenant remnant-controlled territory near [[Oth Lodon]]. Once ''Infinity'' arrived, 'Gajat and Clayton opened fire on the ship with the massive [[energy projector|glassing cannon]] of their [[Station at Oth Lodon|hidden station]].{{Ref/Reuse|HE5}} | Sometime after the Battle of Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} into a trap, using assault craft supposedly recovered from the long-lost {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} to draw ''Infinity'' into Covenant remnant-controlled territory near [[Oth Lodon]].

When the cannon overheated, Clayton ordered 'Gajat to keep the ''Infinity'' busy while they brought the cannon back online. However, 'Gajat saw that an even greater profit could be made by personally destroying the ''Infinity''. When the station was boarded by Spartans, Clayton requested help from 'Gajat. He decided to ignore the call for help and pursue the ''Infinity''. When his ship targeted the ''Infinity'' he ordered a channel to be opened, so Clayton could watch. Instead, he discovered that the Spartans had seized control of the station. The Spartans opened fire with the cannon and destroyed 'Gajat's ship, killing 'Gajat.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref> | When the cannon overheated, Clayton ordered 'Gajat to keep the ''Infinity'' busy while they brought the cannon back online.

Most members of the faction wore the standard armor of 'Mdama's faction, which saw limited use during the [[Human-Covenant War]]; however, other members wore armor types that were more prevalent during the war.
