The '''UNSC ''Bad Moon Rising''''' is an {{Class|Eclipse|prowler}} in service with the [[UNSC Navy]]. In [[2557]], the vessel served under [[Captain]] [[Annabelle Richards]], the former head of special operations in the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], during her direction of [[Project BOOKWORM]]. The ship is captained by [[Captain Hollier]].<ref name="Renegades">'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref>

==History==
In June 2557, the ''Bad Moon Rising'' and its crew had been out on maneuvers around [[Titan]]. This had kept Richards from sending the prowler to investigate a distress signal from the [[UNSC Rubicon|UNSC ''Rubicon'']] on [[Geranos-a]], an uninhabited planet in the [[Ibycus system]]. Instead, she had ordered the nearest ONI vessel in the sector, the [[UNSC Taurokado|UNSC ''Taurokado'']] to secure the site once it had finished with its own [[Mission to the Korinth Prior system|mission]] .<ref>'''Halo: Renegades''', ''Chapter 13''</ref>

This distress signal was of particular interest to Richards as the ''Rubicon'' was the last known location of [[343 Guilty Spark|Guilty Spark]], a key component of Project: BOOKWORM.

After completing their maneuvers, the ''Bad Moon Rising'' returned to Richard's base of operation set up on Earth near [[Voi]] to prepare for their mission to Geranos-a. A highly-trained six-member asset recovery team was added to the vessel's crew. If all went according to plan, these individuals would capture Guilty Spark place him into the containment chamber installed on the prowler.<ref>'''Halo: Renegades''', ''Chapter 13''</ref>

However, this particular directive would be a failure. Before the ''Bad Moon Rising'' could reach Geranos-a, the crew of the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'', a salvager vessel captained by [[Rion Forge]], had already recovered Spark and fled the system.<ref>'''Halo: Renegades''', ''Chapter 19''</ref>

Forge and ONI Agent [[Walter Hahn]] would later arrange a trade for the salvage taken from the wreck of the ''Rubicon''. The ''Bad Moon Rising'' would meet the UNSC ''Taurokado'' at [[Binterall]], the colony where the deal was to take place.<ref>'''Halo: Renegades''', ''Chapter 35''</ref> After the trade went south, neither prowler was successful in keeping the ''Ace'' from escaping Binterall airspace.<ref>'''Halo: Renegades''', ''Chapter 37''</ref>

==Trivia==
The prowler's name is likely a reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:Bad Moon Rising|Bad Moon Rising]]," by the band [[Wikipedia:Creedence Clearwater Revival|Creedence Clearwater Revival]].
