==Operational history==
===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 [[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>

==Trivia==
*There was originally 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. The [[Halo Encyclopedia]] has now confirmed that Wattinree is dead - completely atomized by the blast.
