By [[2552#September|September 2552]], he served in the [[Covenant Special Operations]] division in the [[Special Warfare Group]] as a [[Special Operations Commander]]. Assigned to lead all Special Operation units within the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], 'Vadumee was stationed aboard the fleet's [[flagship]], ''[[Seeker of Truth]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|enc136}} Following the [[Fall of Reach]], the fleet pursued {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to the [[Soell|Soell system]], where [[Installation 04]] was discovered and [[Battle of Installation 04|a battle]] began. After an emergency beacon was activated on {{Pattern|Mjern|agricultural support ship}} ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', Rtas 'Vadumee was called to the bridge by [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee—shortly after 'Vadumee's [[Martial arts|training duel]] with his second-in-command, [[Special Operations Officer|Officer]] [[Bero 'Kusovai]]. 'Vadamee revealed that ''Infinite Succor'' was [[boarding|boarded]] by unknown hostiles that were expected to be [[human]]s. The Supreme Commander tasked Rtas with leading a Special Operations detachment comprised of [[Special Operations Sangheili]] and [[Special Operations Unggoy]] to board the agricultural ship, assess the situation, rescue the [[Minister of Etiology]], and return him to ''Seeker of Truth''.{{Ref/Reuse|HGN}}<ref name="flood">'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''[[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]''</ref>

Upon emerging from slipspace above [[Installation 00]], 'Vadum and his fleet engaged Truth's forces headlong, despite being outnumbered three-to-one, to which ‘Vadum declared it to be a fair fight. While Keyes' forces provided reinforcements and eliminated Covenant [[Kai-pattern Seraph|Seraphs]], 'Vadum's fleet engaged the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruisers.{{Ref/Reuse|Ark}} After devastating Truth's fleet and discovering that Truth was located on the Ark's surface, 'Vadum led the assault on the [[barrier tower]]s from ''Shadow of Intent'', bombarding the shield with plasma torpedoes. After the barrier was deactivated, 'Vadum moved the ship over the [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]] and prepared to destroy it, but was knocked off-course by the Flood-infested High Charity appearing out of slipspace. 'Vadum's ship was incapacitated and its weapons systems were disabled, leaving the task of killing Truth to the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and John-117.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref> After the death of Truth in the Arbiter's hands, 'Vadum gathered all surviving humans and Sangheili forces on the ship and returned to Earth through the portal, reluctantly leaving the Arbiter behind alongside John-117, Guilty Spark, and Sergeant Johnson.<ref name="H3H">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref>
