As a keyship, ''Anodyne Spirit'' was part of the Forerunner strategy against the [[Flood]], as one of the only vessels capable of activating [[slipspace portal]]s to reach [[Installation 00|the Ark]]. Following the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]], ''Anodyne Spirit'' was commandeered by an aspect of the imprisoned [[Mendicant Bias]] and crashed on the San'Shyuum homeworld. There it would later be found and used by the San'Shyuum, and would later become an integral part of the [[Covenant religion]] as the centerpiece and main power source for the Covenant holy city, [[High Charity]]. Featuring a power generation capacity and shielding unparalleled by human or Covenant technology, the ship was used by the San'Shyuum [[Reformists]] during the [[War of Beginnings]] to dominate their [[Sangheili]] foes in naval combat, and later as the [[flagship]] of the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]] in the final battles of the [[Human-Covenant War]].

In the midst of the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], [[Atriox]] decided that he would need to return to the galaxy. Hearing that the ''Anodyne Spirit'' held [[Menachite Forerunner crystal|a certain]] [[slipspace]] [[Slipspace flake|flake]], the leader of the [[Banished]] sent a team led by [[Chieftain]] [[Minas]] to recover the crystal and bring it to him so that he could open a [[Slipspace portal|portal]] to [[Reach]]. Nearly seven years after its arrival, the Dreadnought still stood where the Prophet of Truth had abandoned it, among the towers of a seaside city in Mahsko. The region was still uncontested by the [[UNSC Spirit of Fire|UNSC forces]] fighting for control of the Ark.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | In the midst of the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]], [[Atriox]] decided that he would need to return to the galaxy.

After fighting through the remnants of the Covenant loyalists, the Banished managed to retrieve the crystal shards from deep within the Dreadnought at the cost of roughly two thirds of their men. Realizing that the surviving Covenant defenders still outnumbered them, they escaped the vessel and returned to Atriox with their prize.

The Banished raid on the keyship drew out the Covenant forces sheltering there led by [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]]. They subsequently allied with the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and [[Intrepid Eye]] to fire the [[Halo Array]], but were defeated. Due to his armor being damaged, the Prelate was unable to call for a ship from ''Anodyne Spirit'' to collect him following the [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion]] until his armor could repair itself.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW|DW}} | The Banished raid on the keyship drew out the Covenant forces sheltering there led by [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]].
