Rho 'Barutamee

For the friend of Arbiter Fal 'Chavamee, see Roh.

Rho 'Barutamee was a Sangheili Shipmaster who served the Covenant during the Human-Covenant War.

Fall of Reach
Rho 'Barutamee was the Shipmaster of the 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.

'Barutamee's vessel partook in the Battle at Szurdok Ridge 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. '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 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 tore the ship in half or when its remains reentered the atmosphere and crashed on the surface.
