In [[2553]], ''Shadow of Intent'' traveled to the Sangheili [[Sangheili colonies|frontier colony]] of [[Rahnelo]] in response to the planet's distress signal. Upon arriving at the planet, 'Soran, 'Vadum, and a [[squad]] of soldiers descended to Rahnelo's surface and discovered that the colony was [[Attack on Rahnelo|attacked]] by [[Jiralhanae]] forces.<ref name="SoI13"/> The two encountered locals [[Tul 'Juran]] and her [['Juran|younger brother]] who revealed that the attack had ended three days and the Jiralhanae forces were led by a surviving [[San'Shyuum]] [[Prelate]]—unbeknownst to the Sangheili, Prelate [[Tem'Bhetek]] blamed 'Vadum for his family's death during the Great Schism and sought revenge against the Sangheili. 'Juran also revealed that the Prelate had captured [[Tulum 'Juranai|her father]] and elder brothers before leaving the planet in his {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}} ''[[Spear of Light]]''. Seeking to rescue her family, 'Juran invoked a "[[right of release]]" and requested admittance among 'Vadum's crew while ''Shadow of Intent'' engaged in its mission to stop the Prelate. Despite 'Soran's concerns regarding tradition over allowing a female join a naval crew, 'Vadum agreed to 'Juran's request and the Sangheili returned to ''Shadow of Intent'' and departed Rahnelo.<ref name="SoI23"/> Three days later, ''Shadow of Intent'' soon traveled to [[Duraan]], upon receiving the planet's distress signal. The carrier arrived in the system to find the planet under attack from ''Spear of Light''. As ''Shadow of Intent'' moved to attack the cruiser, the carrier's [[energy shielding]] was weakened and [[plasma]] armaments proved ineffective due to interference emitted from [[Duraan's red dwarf star|Duraan's unstable star]]. ''Spear of Light'' moved alongside the carrier and the Prelate led the cruiser's entire Jiralhanae crew in a [[boarding]] mission to seize the carrier.<ref>'''Halo: Shadow of Intent''', ''pages 47-49'' (Google Play edition)</ref> With hostiles aboard the carrier, 'Soran and 'Vadum moved to intercept Tem and his Jiralhanae.
