In [[2553#March|March 2553]], [[Sangheili]] insurgents led by the [[Servants of Abiding Truth]] launched [[Siege at Kolaar|an assault]] on the state of [[Vadam]], gathering ground forces in Vadam Valley along the edge of the harbor. [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] was caught off guard as his own reinforcements couldn't arrive on time, and he reluctantly accepted [[Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]]'s offer of assistance. The {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} destroyed the assaulting ground forces with a [[MAC]] round, leaving a large crater on the coast that would be filled in with water, effectively extending Vadam Harbor inland.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TTW12|TTW|Chapter=12}} | |||
Due to the Csurdon Sea's proximity to Vadam Harbor, the city of Sunaion was occupied by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] in [[2558#October|October 2558]] when the faction plotted an attack on Vadam.{{Ref/Reuse|Sunaion}} | |||
