During Task Force Yama's [[Attack on Zhoist|assault]] on the Covenant's holy colony of [[Zhoist]], 'Szatulai led his Bloodstars onto the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] after realizing that the Spartans were boarding it. However, 'Szatulai discovered too late that the Spartans had managed to sneak past them, resulting in a confrontation with them in one of the fabrication barns for the partially-construction [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]] ''[[Hammer of Faith]]''. As John-117 and [[Kelly-087]] prepared to use the barn's [[gravity lift]]s to throw a pair of activated [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s onto the supercarrier, the Bloodstars' Sangheili forces began emerging from the lifts in pairs, ignoring the HAVOKs in favor of attacking [[Blue Team]]. Frederic-104 was able to kill several with an [[M41 SPNKR]] while [[Linda-058]] took out more with an [[M99 Stanchion]]. As the battle raged between Blue Team and the Bloodstars, 'Szatulai attacked John in close quarters combat and nearly bested him. John eventually managed to overpower 'Szatulai and he was killed when Kelly blew off 'Szatulai's head with John's [[M90 shotgun]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS27|HSS|Chapter=27}} | During Task Force Yama's [[Attack on Zhoist|assault]] on the Covenant's holy colony of [[Zhoist]], 'Szatulai led his Bloodstars onto the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] after realizing that the Spartans were boarding it.

Though the Sangheili Bloodstar forces on the Ring of Mighty Abundance were killed, [[Castor]] and [[Orsun]] didn't emerge from the gravity lifts until after everyone else was dead. Rather than engaging the fleeing Spartans, the two Jiralhanae fled in Banshees before the HAVOKs destroyed the ''Hammer of Faith''. Castor and Orsun were able to reach a stable orbit around Zhoist before the detonation and were picked up by the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience where they reported the death of 'Szatulai and the failure to kill any of the Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS27}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSSEp|HSS|Detail=Epilogue}} | Though the Sangheili Bloodstar forces on the Ring of Mighty Abundance were killed, [[Castor]] and [[Orsun]] didn't emerge from the gravity lifts until after everyone else was dead.
