At some point prior to [[2552#December|December 2552]], a unit of the Silent Shadow laid a trap for two two-person teams of [[Spartan-III]] [[Headhunter]]s. On an unnamed moon, ten Covenant base camps were established to field crew for a [[Forerunner]] artifact dig site, which the Spartans were ordered to destroy. The Spartans observed the base for the next two days, identifying patrol routes, high-ranking enemies, and important control sites, unaware of the trap prepared for them. On the third day they infiltrated the base, eliminating all hostiles and setting demolition charges around the base. At the moment the Spartans let their guard down, the cloaked First Blade impaled [[Roland-B210|one of the Headhunters]] with his energy sword, while his subordinates appeared and surrounded [[Jonah-B283]]. The First Blade suggested the Spartan surrender, informing him that the second Spartan team was already dead. Refusing, Jonah lured the Sangheili closer to the charges before setting them off, killing himself and the Sangheili.{{Ref/Reuse|hh}} The sole surviving Sangheili of this encounter, [[Jega 'Rdomnai]], would eventually join the Banished and become the very first member of the [[Hand of Atriox]].{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p454}} | At some point prior to [[2552#December|December 2552]], a unit of the Silent Shadow laid a trap for two two-person teams of [[Spartan-III]] [[Headhunter]]s.
