The frigate detected the {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} ''[[Unrelenting]]'' as an intermittent sensor ghost at 80 million kilometers. This was far beyond the frigate's weapons range and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Wallace]] saw no need for concern. However, Doctor Halsey warned of a possible enemy tactical Slipstream jump and the captain brought the ship to general quarters. The Spartans readied a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] and prepared to disembark.<ref name="FOR">'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 102-119''</ref> | ||
Halsey's warning was prescient. ''Unrelenting'' suddenly appeared {{Convert|3000|km|mi}} from ''Commonwealth'' and opened fire with pulse lasers. The frigate's communications dish was destroyed and its [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] disabled. ''Commonwealth'' returned fire with 180 [[Archer missile]]s; the vessel evaded half and the remainder failed to penetrate the shields. ''Unrelenting'' destroyed the frigate's navigation dish and caused further damage with lasers. In turn, a heavy [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] round penetrated the vessel's shields and struck its hull directly. The round crumpled the nose of the ship and caused some internal fires.{{Ref/Reuse|FOR}} | Halsey's warning was prescient.
