'''''Mayhem''''' was a {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}}<ref name="canon fodder"/> in service with the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].

==History==
===Operation: FAR STORM===
In [[2555]], a countdown to the activation of the [[Halo Array]] was discovered on [[Installation 07]]. The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] made the decision to send a join [[UNSC]]-[[Swords of Sanghelios]] task force to [[Installation 00]] to prevent the activation. [[N'tho 'Sraom]] was ordered by the [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] to meet [[Usze 'Taham]] and the [[Huragok]] [[Drifts Randomly]] and take ''Mayhem'' to [[Earth]] so the Huragok could repair the [[Portal at Voi|portal generator]] for passage to the Ark.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 65''</ref> 

When the portal was reactivated, a [[Forerunner]] [[Retriever Sentinel]] immediately emerged but it was soon destroyed by {{UNSCShip|Endeavor}}.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 123-124''</ref> A meeting was then held on ''Mayhem'' upon N'tho's request, to discuss the next course of action. While N'tho suggested entering the portal immediately, [[Annabelle Richards|Captain Annabelle Richards]] insisted they wait for consent by her superiors.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 128''</ref> Not wanting to waste any time, N'tho ordered his crew to fly ''Mayhem'' into the portal but before they could enter, another Retriever appeared. ''Mayhem'' quickly took care of the sentinel and then entered the portal.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 137''</ref>

Due to the increased power input of the Ark's portal generators, ''Mayhem'' reached the Ark in a matter of hours. Upon exiting [[slipspace]], ''Mayhem'' was engaged by multiple armed Retrievers. The vessel was soon overwhelmed by the Retrievers, with two of the sentinels joining to form a larger, more powerful version. With no other option, N'tho ordered his crew to ram the construct and divert all remaining shields to the front of the ship. The sentinel was destroyed but ''Mayhem''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engines failed, causing it to crash onto the Ark's surface which rendered the vessel inoperable. After ''Mayhem'' scanned the surrounding area to make sure it was safe, the expedition left to attempt to stop the Halo Array from firing, and the ship's crew started work on repairs.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 142-149''</ref>

The expedition eventually returned after completing their mission, however the ship was still far from being repaired, luckily a fleet of UNSC ships exited slipspace over the Ark and located ''Mayhem''. The {{UNSCShip|Witness}} lifted what it could of ''Mayhem'' into its hangar bay and returned to Earth.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 352''</ref>
