The War of the Wetlands was a major conflict between the Resources Development Administration and the Hulanta Clan living in the Wetlands of Pandora.
The conflict was won by the RDA and Trinity Harper; the Hulanta clan was displaced and forced to relocate as they were not a warrior clan, and their leader Tiaru was killed in the battle.
Background[]
The conflict was instigated by the poor relationship between the RDA at the Forward Base and the Na'vi living in the Wetlands area. Harper wanted to negotiate with the Hulanta, trying to get the clan to share the use of the nearby river. She was willing to make concessions with the clan in exchange for partial rights to the waterway.
However, some RDA members abducted a Na'vi girl, O'ame. Raven and some other members of the clan attacked the refinery to get her back, and to Harper, this was enough to escalate the conflict with the clan to physical brute force.
Prior to the RDA's invasion of the Wetlands, Raven tried to plead with Tiaru not to attack but to agree to negotiations with Trinity Harper. However, Trinity decided to carry out a massive attack anyway, meaning no negotiations took place.
The battle[]
Before the major battle began, Trinity surrounded the Hulanta Hometree with Sec-Ops soldiers. Raven realized that the RDA were not interested in peace talks. Raven then went fully rogue and takes an AMP Suit to fight the RDA.
During the battle, Raven was pursued by multiple Scorpion Gunships as the Hulanta fled. Ro'até arrives with her ikran and saves Raven from one, but one arriving Scorpion started chasing Ro'até.
Raven fled from three Scorpions towards a cliffside, but was confronted by another in front. Sensing the danger, Raven ran after it with the AMP, and managed to jump on top of the Scorpion from a cliff, stabbing its motors with the AMP suit knife. Raven, still clinging to the Scorpion, went down with it.
The Hulanta Hometree was said to be completely obliterated by the RDA.
