'''''Sublime Transcendence''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant supercarrier|supercarrier]], the [[flagship]] of the [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]].<ref name="ENC">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]''' (2011 edition), Famous Covenant Ships, ''page 286''</ref> It was commanded by [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]].
In August, [[2552]] the ship picked up a [[NOVA]] bomb along with some mining equipment from [[Reach]], implying that either it was present at [[The Battle of Reach]] or visited the planet afterward.


==Design==
A few months later, during the [[Civil War of the Covenant]], the carrier and its fleet were at [[Joyous Exultation]] along with as many other [[Elite]]-controlled ships as could be found. They met to plan a strike against the [[Brutes]].
===Decks===
*'''Storage subdeck K''': This was a dimly-lit storage deck staffed by a tribe of [[Unggoy]] crewmen.<ref name="GOO">'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', Chapter 27, ''pages 236 - 239''</ref>
*'''Storage Sector Three''':  This was a sector that [[Huragok]] only used as it was filled with active [[plasma]] conduits.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}}
*'''M deck''': This was a deck on the supercarrier.{{Ref/Reuse|GOO}}


==Operational history==
The ship and its fleet, and the planet were all destroyed when the [[Grunt]] [[Kwassass]] inadvertenly triggered the NOVA.  
===Human-Covenant War===
In [[2552#August|August 2552]] the ship picked up a [[NOVA Bomb]] along with some mining equipment from [[Reach]], implying that it had visited the planet following its [[Fall of Reach|disastrous fall]]. While the ship was not present at the battle itself, it was theorized that Xytan's brilliance combined with the audacity of [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee would have made for a devastating combination.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-infinity-beyond '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder: Infinity and Beyond'']</ref>


===Great Schism===
[[Category: The Covenant]]
A few months later, during the [[Great Schism]], the carrier and its [[fleet]] were at [[Joyous Exultation]] along with as many other [[Sangheili]]-controlled ships as could be found. They met to plan a strike against the [[Jiralhanae]] and to decide what to do about the [[Flood]], then later the [[human]]s. The ship, most of its fleet, the planet, and its moon were all destroyed when one of the [[Unggoy]] on board, [[Kwassass]], inadvertently triggered a voice cue in a databox, thereby arming the NOVA bomb. After playing a message by [[Danforth Whitcomb|Admiral Whitcomb]], the detonation was caused by a group of [[Huragok]], who reinserted the databox inside the bomb itself, despite Kwassass' efforts to prevent them from doing so after realizing the threat.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', Chapter 27, ''page 244''</ref>
