The ''Song of Retribution'' came into [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s possession following the formation of a new [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|faction of Covenant]] on [[Hesduros]] in [[2553]] and was chosen by 'Mdama to serve as his personal [[flagship]].

The ''Song of Retribution'' remained in orbit over the planet during this time. In [[2557#July|July 2557]], the Covenant detected a [[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|human vessel]] heading to the planet.
