'''''Seeker of Truth''''' (also referred to as the '''''Seeker'''''<ref name="LC3">''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]'', [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #3]]</ref>) is a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} and the former [[flagship]] of the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. The [[Supreme Commander]] of the fleet, [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, commanded the vessel during the final years of the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="succor"/>

==History==

Thel 'Vadamee commanded ''Seeker of Truth'' during the [[Fall of Reach]], where he led the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] and eventually [[glassed]] [[Reach|the planet]]. The remains of the fleet followed the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to [[Installation 04]] when it fled the system.<ref name="succor">''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', [[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]</ref>

After leaving the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] and discovering Installation 04, the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] and 'Vadamee met aboard ''Seeker of Truth''. They attempted to contact [[High Charity]] to ensure the interpretation of their scripture was accurate but were unable to do so.<ref name="LC3"/><ref name="flood">''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]</ref> When ''Pillar of Autumn'' exited slipspace in the system, ''Seeker of Truth'' and several other vessels launched [[dropship]]s and [[Type-28 boarding craft|boarding craft]] in a failed attempt to capture the ship.<ref name="h2a terminal13">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 13]]</ref> During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the Prophet of Stewardship relocated to the [[DDS-class carrier|carrier]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.<ref name="flood"/> Later in the battle, the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'' activated its emergency beacon. 'Vadamee sent a [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] detachment, led by [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee, to the vessel to retrieve the [[Minister of Etiology]] aboard the ''Succor'' and return him to the ''Seeker of Truth''. However, the crew of ''Infinite Succor'' and all Special Operation forces were killed by the [[Flood]], except for 'Vadumee who was heavily wounded.<ref name="succor"/> When Rtas 'Vadumee returned to ''Seeker of Truth'', Thel ordered all ships in the fleet to invoke emergency quarantine response, priority alpha.<ref name="flood"/> Later in the battle, ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]'' became boarded and infested by the Flood. Thel 'Vadamee was forced to destroy the cruiser with ''Seeker of Truth'' to prevent the Flood from spreading.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never ''Halo Waypoint'': Cannon Fodder: Beta Late Than Never]</ref>

When the Supreme Commander realized that the destruction of the installation was imminent he had the entire fleet take cover behind the gas giant [[Threshold]].<ref name="flood"/> After the destruction of Installation 04, ''Seeker of Truth'' left the system and was called to High Charity. When the carrier arrived at High Charity, Thel 'Vadamee left the ship and took a [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] to the interior of the holy city.<ref name="h2a terminal13"/> Due to his failure of safeguarding Installation 04, 'Vadamee was called before the [[High Council]] and stripped of his rank and command over the flagship.<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[The Heretic]]</ref>

Though both the Definitive Edition of ''Halo: The Flood'' and ''Halo 2: Anniversary''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals portray ''Seeker of Truth'' as 'Vadamee's command vessel, ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' (released years before the ''Halo Graphic Novel'') strongly implies that his flagship was instead ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. This is erroneously stated as fact on the Arbiter's [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/arbiter-thel-vadam Halo Waypoint biography].
