'''''Indulgence of Conviction'''''<ref name="star">'''http://halostarscope.com'''</ref> was a [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} that was captured and infected by the [[Flood]] parasite.

This '''unidentified vessel''' was a [[Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} that was captured and infected by the [[Flood]] parasite. The Flood used this vessel in an attempt to infect the [[human]] homeworld of [[Earth]].


==History==
==Background==
{{Quote|Find the crashed Flood ship; overload its engine core. We either destroy this city, or risk losing the entire planet.|[[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]]{{Ref/Reuse|floodgate}}}}
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]] [[Portal at Voi|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.
During its service with the [[Covenant]], the offensive and defensive abilities of ''Indulgence of Conviction'', combined with the cruiser's large personnel and equipment capacity, made it ideal for troop and vehicle deployment during ground engagements, as well as [[Space warfare|ship-to-ship naval combat]].{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

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 Sangheili ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'', led by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]], soon emerged from Slipspace over Voi. 'Vadum ordered the humans to evacuate the area, while he dealt with the Flood. At the same time, John-117 learned that [[Cortana]] might be aboard the ship.  Hoping to rescue her, the Chief, Thel 'Vadam, and a newly arrived squad of Special Operations Sangheili pushed forward and reached the crash site. While Thel and the Elites stood guard outside, the Chief entered the crashed ship through a breach in its hull. Inside, he found a device that later turned out to contain an important message from Cortana. Soon afterwards, the UNSC and Sangheili ground forces evacuated the area, while the ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'' 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>

==Production notes==
*The Flood-infected scout ship was originally going to be the [[CAS-class assault carrier|assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. The scout ship was later replaced during development by an unnamed ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser, as the ''Shadow of Intent'' became Rtas 'Vadum's flagship.<ref name="slides">'''[[Vic DeLeon]]''', PowerPoint presentation ''Halo 3 Flood Alien Level Autopsy''</ref> The cruiser's name ''Indulgence of Conviction'' was eventually revealed years later through the ''Halo Starscope'', a promotional website for ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|star}}
*Around 75% of the interior of the ship in the level [[Floodgate]] was cut.{{Ref/Reuse|slides}} As almost the entirety of the level [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]] was also deleted, most of the cruiser's interior was recycled into ''High Charity''. The cruiser's own geometry was also used for ''High Charity'' as the holy city's own geometry was cut.<ref>[https://twitter.com/dmiller360/status/533780831513624576 '''Twitter''': ''Dan Miller @dmiller360'']</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/dmiller360/status/533780549807398912 '''Twitter''': ''Dan Miller @dmiller360'']</ref>
*The battlecruiser is the first setting in the [[Halo universe|''Halo'' universe]] for which [[Bungie]] created a Flood architecture from scratch thus defining the faction's visual language, including the biomass, organic terrain and tunnels, crusty excretions, [[Flood blister|blisters]], pustules, [[porta]]s, fungus and coral reef-like elements. The design mainly emanated from [[Vic DeLeon]], Frank Capezutto and [[Isaac Hannaford]].{{Ref/Reuse|slides}}
*A number of Sangheili bodies are encountered on the ship, which may indicate to some players that it was under Sangheili control at the time of the Schism. However, these bodies are actually supposed to represent the team of Spec Ops Elites that enter the ship before the Chief does, and due to a scripting error they appear as dead Ultras.
