This battlecruiser 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]] [[The Portal|portal device]] between [[Voi]] and [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. 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 Tsavo|the previous battle]]. Its infected crew and the newly-infected victims quickly spread, threatening to overrun the city of Voi and its surroundings. | This battlecruiser was captured by the Flood during the [[Sangheili]]'s quarantine of [[Installation 05]] and ''[[High Charity]]''.

Soon after the vessel arrived, the Sangheili ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'', led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]], emerged from Slipspace over Voi. 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 ''Fleet of Retribution'' instead began to [[Glassing|glass]] the contaminated area, destroying the remains of the ship and halting the Flood threat.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> | Soon after the vessel arrived, the Sangheili ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'', led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]], emerged from Slipspace over Voi.
