The '''''Radiant Arrow''''' was a [[Covenant frigate]] that the [[SPARTAN-II]]s attempted to capture. | The '''''Radiant Arrow''''' was a [[Covenant frigate]] that the [[SPARTAN-II]]'s attempted to capture. | ||
==History== | ==History== | ||
In [[2526 | In [[2526]], following the [[glassing]] of [[Netherop]], the ''Radiant Arrow'' was the only Covenant ship left in the system. In an attempt to learn more about [[Covenant]] technology, [[SPARTAN-II]] [[Blue Team|Blue]], [[Green Team|Green]] and [[Gold Team]]s were assigned to capture the ''Radiant Arrow'' so that [[ONI]] could study the technology on board. After days of survelience by several [[Prowler]]s including the {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}, the Spartans were able to enter by following the ship's [[Banshee]]s through a maintenance hanger in an [[EVA]]. The Spartans quickly eliminated the Covenant forces in the hanger without them being able to raise an alarm or escape. | ||
With the Covenant | With the hanger cleared, Petty Officer First Class [[John-117]] had Gold Team load five Banshees with Covenant weapons and tools and set them adrift for recovery by the Prowlers in case the Spartans failed to capture the ship or return while Blue and Green Teams began a compartment by compartment effort to clear the ship of hostiles.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''chapters 1-3''</ref> However, a sensor operator on one of the Prowlers, in reality an [[Insurrectionist]] working for [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Hector Nyeto]]<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''page 220''</ref> broadcasted over an open channel on the Spartan's SQUADCOM, revealing their presence on the frigate. | ||
With the Covenant beginning to respond in force, Blue Team headed to capture the bridge while Green Team went to capture engineering and Gold Team acted as backup. Despite heavy resistance, the Spartans were able to push to the bridge and engineering with John taking out the majority of the bridge crew with [[fragmentation grenade]]s. In response, the [[Shipmaster]] activated the [[self-destruct]] with a dead man's switch set into his chair to buy the ''Radiant Arrow's'' surviving crew the chance to abandon ship. Recognizing the threat, John ordered the other Spartans to abandon ship before using a Covenant escape pod to do so himself when he couldn't stop the Shipmaster from releasing the dead man's switch.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''chapter 3''</ref> | |||
After | After the destruction of the ''Radiant Arrow'', the Covenant were left unaware of what had happened to the ship. To them, the ''Radiant Arrow'' had simply vanished. In an attempt to forge an alliance with the Covenant, [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]] of the [[United Rebel Front]] offered information on the destruction of the ''Radiant Arrow'' and the ''[[Unrelenting]]'' months earlier.<ref>'''Halo: Silent Storm''', ''chapter 9''</ref> | ||

* | *The ''Radiant Arrow'' has the first known contact with [[Sangheili]] for the UNSC. During the mission, after encountering one and not recognizing the species, [[John-117]] dubs them Elites, the name humanity would come to know the species by. | ||
