==Design==
The '''''Sublime Transcendence''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Supercarrier|Supercarrier]], the [[Flagship]] of the [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]]. It was commanded by [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]].  
===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==
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 it had visited the planet afterwards.
===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===
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]] and to decide what to do about the [[Flood]].
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>


==List of appearances==
The ship, it's Fleet, and the planet's moon were all destroyed when the [[Engineers]] onboard inadvertently triggered a voice cue in a databox, then, despite a grunt's best efforts, the message by Admiral Whitcomb armed, then detonated the NOVA bomb.

==Trivia==
{{Ref/Sources}}
*Their is speculation that [[Imperial Admiral]] [[Xytan 'Jar Wattinree]] ''may'' have escaped and avoided [[Danforth Whitcomb's]] instigated-NOVA bomb as [[Eric Nylund]] cues that he may yet still be alive. To the current date this theory is still unconfirmed by any official.
