The ''Truth and Reconciliation'' served within the ''Fleet of Particular Justice'' during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552|summer 2552]]. When the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} fled [[Reach]] on August 30, [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee ordered the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', along with several other Covenant vessels, to pursue the human warship. The Covenant's forces arrived at [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]] well in advance of the ''Pillar of Autumn'', which arrived on September 19.<ref>Halo: Combat Evolved, campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 4''</ref>

After the ''Pillar of Autumn'' arrived at Installation 04, it was able to evade detection by the Covenant vessels there, surreptitiously analyzing Installation 04. However, a [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph fighter]] stumbled upon the ''Pillar of Autumn'' by chance and relayed its coordinates to the Covenant fleet, which engaged the ''Pillar of Autumn''.  

When ''Truth and Reconciliation'' arrived over the surface of Installation 04, it became a command post for the local Covenant ground forces. There, [[Zuka 'Zamamee]] sought approval from the [[Council of Masters]], represented by [[Soha 'Rolamee]] and the Prophet Stewardship, to hunt [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]], though he was denied permission. As 'Zamamee left, [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], the commanding officer of the ''Pillar of Autumn'', was brought onboard as a prisoner, having been captured earlier that day.<ref name="ReferenceA">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page ???''</ref>  

The next day, John-117 led a squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s on [[Raids on the Truth and Reconciliation|a mission]] to infiltrate the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' to rescue Captain Keyes.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 99-100''</ref> Under the cover of night, the humans fought their way past the Covenant ground defenses and boarded the ship via its [[gravity lift]]. Upon entering the ship's gravity lift bay, the humans were ambushed by Covenant security forces.  

After John rescued Captain Keyes, the former first reprimanded and then thanked the SPARTAN for the rescue. He then informed John and Cortana that he had learned that the ringworld, Halo, was some kind of powerful weapon and that the Covenant were trying to gain control of it. Seconds after their release, the humans were ambushed by Stealth Elites. The SPARTAN, the captain, and the other freed prisoners fought their way back to the bridge, where they found the remaining ODSTs dead. The group made their way to one of ''Truth and Reconciliation''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s hangar bays, where Keyes commandeered a [[Type-28 Troop Carrier|Spirit dropship]], allowing the surviving humans to escape.<ref name="T&R"/><ref name="ReferenceA"/>
