===Battle of Harvest=== | |||
{{Main|First Battle of Harvest}} | |||
Calid was a part of [[Maccabeus]]' pack and served on the [[Covenant]] [[cruiser]] ''[[Rapid Conversion]]''. After recovering the [[Deacon]] [[Dadab]] and [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]], the crew of the ''Rapid Conversion'' discovered the [[human]] [[agriculture world|agricultural colony]] of [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi system]]. Maccabeus assessment of the planet with the ships [[Luminary]] showed thousands of relics, but the devout Chieftain was soon shocked to learn that Dadab believed that there was an [[Monitor|oracle]] located on the planet. After [[Skirmish on Minor Transgression|a violent encounter]] with the [[Kig-Yar]], the humans on Harvest sent the ship's crew a message, detailing that humans wanted peace and wished to give the aliens a peace offering.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 229''</ref> | |||
After the hostilities between the humans and the Covenant began, Calid arrived to pick up Dadab in a [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]] dropship from the Unggoy outpost on the [[Tiara]] and deliver him to Maccabeus in the cruiser, as the Deacon claimed he had important news for the Chieftain. Calid, however, had to wait to return to the cruiser's [[hangar bay]] because the [[Yanme'e]] were attacking Lighter Than Some.{{Ref/Reuse|ch310}} Later, Calid had to return both Dadab and the Huragok back to the Tiara.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 317''</ref> | |||
He was most likely killed during the engagement on the Tiara by a member of the [[Harvest militia]] group. | |||
