The '''''Sublime Transcendence''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Supercarrier|Supercarrier]], the [[Flagship]] of the ''[[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]]''. It was commanded by [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]].

In August, [[2552]] the ship picked up a [[NOVA]] bomb along with some mining equipment from [[Reach]], implying that either it was present at [[The Battle of Reach]] or it had visited the planet afterward.

A few months later, during the [[Civil War of the Covenant]], the carrier and its [[Fleet]] were at ''[[Joyous Exultation]]'' along with as many other [[Elite]]-controlled ships as could be found. They met to plan a strike against the [[Brutes]] and to decide what to do about the [[Flood]], then later the [[Human]]s.

The ship, most of its Fleet, and the planet's moon were all destroyed when one of the [[Grunt]]s on board, [[Kwassass]], inadvertently triggered a voice cue in a databox, thereby arming the NOVA bomb: after playing a message by [[Admiral Whitcomb]], the detonation was caused by a group of [[Engineers]], who reinserted the databox inside the bomb itself, despite Kwassass's efforts to prevent it after realizing about the threat.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' page 244</ref>

*There is speculation that [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] ''may'' have escaped and avoided [[Danforth Whitcomb's]] instigated-NOVA bomb as [[Eric Nylund]] cues that he may yet still be alive. The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] have now confirms that Wattinree is dead - completely atomized by the blast.
