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}}

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 and bringing an end to the group.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #6''</ref>

What remained of the mercenary group, now led by Tek, was absorbed by the New Colonial Alliance and they were still on the NCA when Ilsa Zane executed [[Mattius Drake]] on [[2559#May|May 8, 2559]], and forced both NCA and the mercernary group to join under the [[Banished]] banner.{{Ref/Book|Halo: The Third Life}}
===Ilsa Zane and the Banished===
Following 'Gajat's death, what remained of the mercenary group was led by Tek and remained affiliated with the New Colonial Alliance. On [[2559#May|May 8, 2559]], as Tek and his fleet were present in the [[Edolas System]] alongside a New Colonial Alliance fleet docked at a former Covenant station, Ilsa Zane infiltrated the [[NCA D’artagnan]] and executed [[Mattius Drake]], before the rogue Spartan pledged the allegiance of both New Colonial Alliance and the mercernary group under the [[Banished]] banner.{{Ref/Book|Halo: The Third Life}}
