Rho 'Barutamee
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Covenant Character Infobox
Rho 'Barutamee[1] was a Sangheili Shipmaster who served the Covenant Empire during the Human-Covenant War.
Battle of Reach
Rho 'Barutamee was the Shipmaster of the CSO-class supercarrier Long Night of Solace by the year 2552. That year, the Long Night of Solace was made the flagship of the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, the task force sent to Reach ahead of the main Covenant invasion fleet, with 'Barutamee the overall commander of this first assault.[1]
'Barutamee's vessel partook in the Battle of Viery on the surface of Reach, where UNSC Army forces accompanied by the SPARTAN-IIIs of Noble Team exposed the Long Night of Solace through the destruction of Spire One, a communications tower that had been cloaking the vessel.[2] 'Barutamee's vessels smashed the UNSC Army garrisons below before retreating to Reach's orbit. The Long Night of Solace was the primary target of Operation: UPPER CUT, where the UNSC hijacked the SDV-class heavy corvette Ardent Prayer and used a rigged Slipspace drive to detonate underneath the supercarrier. Rho 'Barutamee was presumably killed along with his entire crew when the subsequent slipspace rupture ripped the vessel apart.[3]
