The '''Unnamed Kig-Yar transport'''{{Ref/Note|This is the exact title given in the novel on page 268, implying that the ship is actually ''unnamed'' as opposed to being simply unidentified.}} was a [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar troop carrier|transport vessel]] operating from [[the Redoubt]] on [[Metisette]] during [[2535]].<ref name="tcp">'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 268''</ref> On board the ship were several hundred [[Unggoy]], including the [[Deacon]] [[Pipit]].<ref name="tcp194">'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 194''</ref>

==Operational history==
During the [[Battle of the Rubble]], the ship was on its way to the Redoubt when [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and his team of [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] [[Boarding (attack)|boarded]] it, catching the unsuspecting Kig-Yar crew by surprise. Previously, the Sangheili had used a smaller [[Kig-Yar shuttle]] to escape captivity in [[Habitat La Paz]]. After Thel and his Sangheili had slain the Kig-yar crew, the Unggoy onboard accepted the Sangheili authority without question.{{Ref/Reuse|tcp194}}

Soon after, the Sangheili used the shuttle onboard to assault [[the Redoubt]] and capture the Kig-yar leader [[Reth]], bringing him aboard the transport and interrogating him. However, the Kig-Yar managed to talk the [[Unggoy]] guards into releasing him. He then shut the ship's computer systems down with an override password, and made his escape in an [[Covenant escape pod|escape pod]] as the Sangheili were attempting to reboot the system.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''pages 216-217''</ref>

Thel then decided that they board and capture the ''[[Infinite Spoils]]'', a [[Kig-yar raider]]. However, they found its [[Hardpoint|docking ring]] to be occupied by a [[human]] freighter, ''[[Mighty Sparrow]]''. After firing several [[plasma torpedo]]es at the freighter, the Sangheili boarded the ''Infinite Spoils'' using {{R'sisho-pattern Tick|boarding craft]] and burning their way through the ''Mighty Sparrow''. After capturing the ''Infinite Spoils'', they discarded the unnamed transport.<ref name="tcp273">'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 273''</ref><ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 276''</ref>
