''Meridian 5-Alpha'' was the last colony support ship sent to serve the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]], following the world's colonization. After the [[Battle of Meridian]] began in [[2548]], ''Alpha'' and a handful of other support ships were relocated to the far side of [[Hestia V]] for safety to avoid the [[Covenant]] ships engaging the [[United Nations Space Command]] over Meridian. While the battle waged on for three years in the [[Hestia system]], the UNSC was ultimately forced to abandon Meridian in [[2551]] and the Covenant [[glassed]] the world. | ''Meridian 5-Alpha'' was the last colony support ship sent to serve the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]], following the world's colonization.

''Alpha'' was used by Liang Dortmund as one of the primary sustaining resources for their recolonization efforts. [[Meridian Station]] was built up around it. On [[2558#October|October 27, 2558]], when a [[Forerunner]] [[Guardian]] on Meridian was activated, most of ''Alpha'' was rendered inoperable in the resulting destruction.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | ||
By the time of the Created [[Battle over Installation 07|defeat]] in late [[2559]], Meridian Station - and the ship at its heart - had been long-abandoned. While wandering the settlement, [[High Auxiliary]] [[Sloan]] noted that he had always been fond of ''Meridian 5-Alpha'', and the way it had landed on Meridian in the knowledge that it would never depart the world again - instead changing into something new. He briefly wondered whether this affection for the ship was a remnant of [[Johanson Sloan|his donor]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=MDHC|HMerDi|Detail=Adjunct - [[Meridian Homecoming]]}} | |||
