Vaanti Attack on The Celestial

The Vaanti Attack on The Celestial occurred in the final chapters of Act 3 in Endless Summer, Book 1. It was the culmination of hostility that occurred between a group of Vaanti (then known as "Watchers") and the occupants of The Celestial hotel - the Catalysts of Vaanti legend - on the Caribbean island of La Huerta. It was the first of only two battles between the Vaanti and the Catalysts before they called a truce once their unforeseen connection was realized; the Catalysts were in fact a vital part of Vaanti mythology and their collaboration was seen as necessary to prevent the eschatological event known as Raan'losti.

Aftermath
The battle led to numerous woundings against the Vaanti and the capture of between one and three Catalysts - Diego Soto, and possibly Raj Bhandarkar and/or Grace Hall.
