Vata 'Gajat
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Vata 'Gajat is a Sangheili Shipmaster who serves in Jul 'Mdama's reformed Covenant.[1]
Biography
At some point after the Human-Covenant War, Vata 'Gajat joined Jul 'Mdama's Covenant remnant faction. He also secretly allied himself with an unknown faction and worked closely with an unidentified human collaborator.
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 his human co-conspirator 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 his human ally 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.[2]
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.[2]
Spirit of Fire
Sometime after the events of Ealen IV, 'Gajat discovered the location of the UNSC Spirit of Firedeep in Covenant Remnant controlled territory and attacked the ship and its crew.[3]
