Vata 'Gajat is a Sangheili Shipmaster mercenary who once served in Jul 'Mdama's reformed Covenant.[1][2]

Biography

At some point after the Human-Covenant War, Vata 'Gajat joined Jul 'Mdama's Covenant remnant faction. Eventually 'Gajat left the Covenant remnant and started working as a mercenary. By 2558 he was employed by the New Colonial Alliance and worked closely with Daniel Clayton.

Ealen IV

In March 2558, he led an attack on a Sangheili-Jiralhanae peace conference on Ealen IV. When informed by Tek of the envoy's retreat into a repair depot, he suggested they wait and let the Jiralhanae turn on the others. However, Clayton suggested he should hurry, so they could finish before the envoy's capital ships responded. 'Gajat agreed to this.[1]

Upon entering the repair depot, however, 'Gajat found it empty. He blamed Tek for the diplomats' escape and threatened to have Tek's share of the bounty taken and split amongst the others. 'Gajat then ordered his forces to prepare for deployment, noting that his agent would soon provide the whereabouts of the envoy.[1]

While overseeing the battle from his ship, 'Gajat was asked by Clayton about what would happen when Jul 'Mdama learned that he was in fact "moonlighting" for their mutual unknown employer. 'Gajat dismissed these concerns, stating that 'Mdama would probably ignore their secret activities due to his own ambition.[3]

Later, when the envoy escaped the ambush and 'Gajat ordered a retreat. His fleet escaped into slipspace before the UNSC Infinity and their allied Sangheili and Jiralhanae ships could engage them.[3]

Ambushing Infinity

Sometime after the Battle of Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the UNSC Infinity into a trap, using assault craft supposedly recovered from the long-lost UNSC Spirit of Fire to draw Infinity into Covenant-controlled territory. Once Infinity arrived, 'Gajat and Clayton opened fired on the ship with a massive glassing cannon. [4]
