The '''''Hammer of Faith''''' was a [[Covenant supercarrier]] that was under construction in [[2526]] at the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] above the [[Covenant]] planet of [[Zhoist]].<ref name="Silent Storm">'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'''</ref> | |||
==History== | |||
On April 15, [[2526]], while targeting [[Zhoist]] and the [[Ring of Mighty Abundance]] during [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], [[John-117]] spotted the ''Hammer of Faith'' in its construction dock. After drawing [[Blue Team]]'s attention to the vessel, John decided to have them blow it up, knowing that it would not only deprive the Covenant of a major naval asset, but destroying the supercarrier would unbalance a whole section of the orbital ring. The wreckage that wasn't vaporized in the blast would be hurled away with immense force, dragging along everything that it was attached to.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''pages 360-361''</ref> | |||

The Spartans killed the [[Sangheili]] warriors and escaped in four [[Banshee]]s while the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Castor]] and [[Orsun]] did the same. The detonation of the two HAVOKs destroyed the supercarrier and the fabrication barns surrounding it, killing the tens of thousands, possibly even hundreds of thousands, of Covenant workers who had been building the ''Hammer of Faith'' and were thus on board as well. Castor and Orsun's Banshees were able to reach a stable orbit far enough away from the explosion to be fine while Blue Team's Banshees were fried, but they were rescued by the [[Prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Night Watch}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''pages 366-373''</ref> | ||

When describing the ship, he used an image of a ''CSO''-class supercarrier from Halopedia as reference. However, ultimately, Denning chose not to specify the ship's class in the text, deferring to [[343 Industries]] to make the final canonical decision.{{Ref|[https://twitter.com/TDenningauthor/status/1081251542357942272 ''Twitter'', Troy Denning:] "The CSO pic in Halopedia is what I was working from when I described it, and in mind, it was intended to be a sister ship to LNoF. But that's NOT official canon -- that decision is (rightly) for 343 to make."}} The ship's class has not been stated in canon as of yet. | ||
