Raia 'Mdama: Difference between revisions

'''Raia 'Mdama''' is a [[Sangheili]], the wife of the elder shipmaster [[Jul ‘Mdama|Jul]], living in the State of Mdama during the post-[[Human-Covenant War]] era.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/news/headline/the-halo-bulletin-101211-exclusive-book-excerpt-glasslands/280887 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo: Glasslands'' excerpt, Chapter 2]</ref>

During the [[Human-Covenant War]] she helped [[Naxan]], her great-uncle, maintain [[Bekan Keep]]. While Jul was more concerned with what the humans would do, she was more concerned with how the Sangheili would move on from the war, and return to a peaceful society. When her husband dismissed her she grew angry, saying the [[San 'Shyuum]] had made them reliant on other races, and they must now re-learn how to use basic technologies. She expressed how they might be able to find [[Kig-Yar]] traders willing to do business, but doubted if they could use loyal [[Jiralhanae]] to maintain their technology since the [[Huragok]] had fled. Jul ended their conversation and left, saying they would discuss it later. Later, in an effort to find her husband she boarded the ''[[Unflinching Resolve]]'' and accompanied the crew on its assault on [[State of Vadam|Vadam]], during which she thought about various changes to Sangheili society that she would promote when she returned. She was aboard one of the Abiding Truth's frigates, ''[[Cleansing Truth]]'', as the Sangheili insurgents retreated from Vadam. Before her ship could jump into slipspace, it was destroyed by the ''[[Swordsman (ship)|Swordsman]]'', one of the Arbiter's cruisers.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 330''</ref>
