==History==
{{Quote|Find the crashed Flood ship; overload its engine core. We either destroy this city, or risk losing the entire planet.|[[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]]<ref name="floodgate"/>}}
During its service with the [[Covenant]], the offensive and defensive abilities of ''Indulgence of Conviction'', combined with the cruiser's large personnel and equipment capacity, made it ideal for troop and vehicle deployment during ground engagements, as well as [[Space warfare|ship-to-ship naval combat]].<ref name="universe"/>


==Background==
''Indulgence of Conviction'' was captured by the [[Flood]] during the [[Sangheili]]'s quarantine of [[Installation 05]] and [[High Charity]]. After absorbing the ship's crew and passengers to provide biomass, the Flood broke through the Sangheili blockade and set course for [[Earth]].<ref name="universe"/> The ship arrived at Earth moments after the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s forces activated the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal at Voi|portal device]] between [[Voi]] and [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].<ref name="the storm"/> The ship crash-landed just outside the town of Voi, releasing numerous Flood forms into the city. These forms immediately began to infect the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] defenders and the corpses of Covenant forces killed during [[Battle of Voi|the previous battle]]. Its infected crew and the newly-infected victims quickly spread, threatening to overrun the city of Voi and its surroundings.<ref name="floodgate"/>
The ''Indulgence of Conviction'' was captured by the Flood during the [[Sangheili]]'s quarantine of [[Installation 05]] and ''[[High Charity]]''. After absorbing the ship's crew and passengers to provide biomass, the Flood broke through the Sangheili blockade and set course for [[Earth]]. The ship arrived at Earth moments after the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s forces activated the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal at Voi|portal device]] between [[Voi]] and [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. The ship crash-landed just outside the town of Voi, releasing numerous Flood forms into the city.

In order to prevent further Flood contamination, [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] decided to destroy the ship by detonating its fusion reactors. However, the Sangheili ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'', led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]], soon emerged from Slipspace over Voi. 'Vadum ordered the humans to evacuate the area, while he dealt with the Flood. At the same time, John-117 learned that [[Cortana]] might be aboard the ship.  Hoping to rescue her, the Chief, Thel 'Vadam, and a newly arrived squad of Special Operations Sangheili pushed forward and reached the crash site. While Thel and the Elites stood guard outside, the Chief entered the crashed ship through a breach in its hull. Inside, he found a device that later turned out to contain an important message from Cortana. Soon afterwards, the UNSC and Sangheili ground forces evacuated the area, while the ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'' began to [[Glassing|glass]] the contaminated area and square kilometers around it, destroying the remains of the ship and halting the Flood threat.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
