'''''Splendid Intention''''' was a [[Sangheili]]-crewed [[Covenant carrier|carrier]] in service with the [[Covenant fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Site|Id=GI|URL=https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/06/12/the-halo-5-guardians-cover-story.aspx|Site=Game Informer|Page=The Halo 5: Guardians Cover Story|D=10|M=03|Y=2024}}{{Ref/Site|Id=GI2|URL=https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/06/26/a-guided-tour-of-halo-5-guardians-newest-map-fathom-.aspx|Site=Game Informer|Page= A Guided Tour Of Halo 5: Guardians' Newest Map, Fathom|D=10|M=03|Y=2024}}{{Ref/Site|Id=universe|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/fathom-station|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Fathom Station|D=27|M=11|Y=2015}}

==History==
The carrier was present during the [[Covenant]]'s invasion of the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] in the summer of [[2552]]. During the series of battles that occurred throughout the system, ''Splendid Intention'' carried plans for new Sangheili weapons that were allegedly powerful enough to render the Covenant's contemporary [[energy projector]]s obsolete.{{Ref/Reuse|GI}}{{Ref/Reuse|GI2}} During the battles in the system, ''Splendid Intention'' attempted to transfer the plans to other frontlines in the war.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

When the [[United Nations Space Command]] became aware of these plans, a team of [[Spartan-II]]s was dispatched from {{UNSCShip|Of Uncommon Courage}} and tasked with infiltrating ''Splendid Intention'' to steal the plans and deliver them to the UNSC. During the raid, a series of events occurred which are classified by the UNSC, though it is known that the mission did not go as planned. Ultimately, ''Of Uncommon Courage'' was sacrificed to ensure that ''Splendid Intention'' was downed in the southern waters of the [[Cortez Ocean]] on [[Beta Gabriel]], a [[human]] [[Human colonies|colony]] in the Epsilon Eridani system.{{Ref/Reuse|GI}}{{Ref/Reuse|GI2}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}

After the war, the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] established [[Fathom Station]] along the [[Aleutian Rim]] near ''Splendid Intention''{{'}}s crash site, with the intent to search for the weapon plans aboard the carrier. However, in [[2556]], while a team of explorers was searching the carrier, ''Splendid Intention'' suddenly shifted from its resting place along the rim and slid down a trench, sending debris and water into Fathom Station's northern terminal. The debris destroyed the station, killing everyone aboard.{{Ref/Reuse|GI}}{{Ref/Reuse|GI2}}{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
