'''''Purity of Spirit''''' was a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} in service with the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant fleet|fleet]]. Assigned to the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], ''Purity of Spirit'' was the sister ship of ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}}

==History==
{{Quote|This world will be ruled in blood.|''Purity of Spirit'' to UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn''{{Ref/Reuse|transmissions}}}}
''Purity of Spirit'' was assigned to [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]]'s [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] with her sister ship ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]''. On [[2552#August|August 30, 2552]], the Fleet of Particular Justice arrived in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] to reinforce [[Covenant]] forces during the [[Fall of Reach]]. During this battle, ''Purity of Spirit'' engaged forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]] near [[Reach]]. Later in the battle, the ship's crew sent threatening transmissions as a form of psychological warfare to UNSC forces and [[warship]]s on and around Reach, including to the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.{{Ref/Reuse|enc287}}{{Ref/Reuse|transmissions}}

Towards the end of the Fall of Reach, ''Pillar of Autumn'' fled from Reach into [[slipstream space]] for the [[Soell system]], where she was pursued by ''Purity of Spirit'' and the rest of the Fleet of Particular Justice. Arriving in the Soell system before ''Pillar of Autumn'' in [[2552#September|September 2552]], the Fleet of Particular Justice discovered [[Installation 04]] in the system. Along with ''Undiminished Entelechy'', ''Purity of Spirit'' was secretly ordered to conduct a close-range survey of Installation 04 by the [[Minor Prophet of Stewardship]], shortly before the arrival of ''Pillar of Autumn''.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}}
