'''UNSC ''Kayenta''''' is a {{Class|Halberd|light destroyer}} in service with the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO4|Oblv|Chapter=4}}

==Service history==
In [[2526]], the ''Kayenta'' was one of several vessels of [[Battle Group X-Ray]] assigned to [[Task Force Pantea]], a [[task force]] of [[UNSC destroyer|destroyers]] operating as a "wolf-pack" unit in the [[Outer Colonies]]. These task forces were deployed in the Outer Colonies to independently harass and destroy the supply lines of the invading [[Covenant]] fleets. At 21:00 hours on [[2526#June|June 3, 2526]], the ''Kayenta'' was leading the task force over [[Netherop]] when the destroyers encountered a lone [[Covenant frigate]] - the ''[[Steadfast Strike]]''. The destroyers engaged the frigate, quickly eliminating the ''Strike''{{'}}s primary weapon systems and disabling the ship. The ship's captain [[Greyveld]] saw the opportunity for the [[Human-Covenant War|ongoing war]] to capture the ship, and instead ordered the task force not to destroy the frigate.{{Ref/Reuse|HO4}}

Task Force Pantea was later ordered by Admiral [[Preston Cole]] to stay on-station to support Blue Team during their operation to recover the wreckage of ''Steadfast Strike'', later engaging the Covenant [[Fleet of Swift Justice]].{{Ref/Reuse|HO4}} The ''Kayenta'' survived the battle and, following the end of the [[Battle of Netherop]], the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] of [[Blue Team]] were stationed on the ''Kayenta'' for a short time before transferring to the {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Everest}}.{{Ref/Novel|Oblv|Chapter=Epilogue}}

==Crew and complement==
As a wolf-pack destroyer, the ''Kayenta'' carried no on-board [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] complement.{{Ref/Reuse|HO4}}

==Trivia==
The vessel is likely named after [[Wikipedia:Kayenta, Arizona|Kayenta]], an [[Arizona|Arizonan]] township within the [[Wikipedia:Navajo Nation|Navajo Nation]].
