However, a Flood-infested cruiser broke through their lines and jumped to Earth. The Sangheili fleet broke off their blockade and followed it, intent on preventing it from infecting the planet. It took part in the Second Battle of Earth, where it supported local United Nations Space Command units by landing troops, vehicles, and supplies into the area. Later, it glassed the city of Voi and outskirts of Kenya in Africa, to prevent the Flood from spreading across Earth.

During the assault on Truth's position, the Shadow of Intent sent down soldiers, vehicles, and supplies to aid the Human and Sangheili forces. There, it took part in a diversionary bombardment of the shield protecting the Citadel.

Later during the battle, the carrier hovered above the Citadel to begin to destroy the building, and to kill the Prophet of Truth. Though before that could take place, the ship was punctured by a large piece of debris (which went completely through the ship) from the Flood-infested High Charity, which had just arrived. The ship was inflicted with "significant damage", though was able to stay in commission and return to Earth [2].

Return to Sanghelios

After the memorial service to those killed in the Second Battle of Earth, and the subsequent, Battle of Installation 00, The Arbiter is given command of the vessel by Rtas' Vadum, and sets a course to return Sanghelios [3].

Trivia

  • At the stern of the Shadow of Intent, and numerous other Assault Carriers, there is a more bulbous section instead of the flat part where the engines are. This is only seen on Assault Carriers from the Second Battle of Earth and on.
