Template:Ship The Shadow of Intent is an Assault Carrier used by the Covenant Separatists Sangheilian Fleet. [1] It is commanded by Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum.
History
Battle of Installation 05
- Main article: Battle of Installation 05
The Shadow of Intent was most likely either already in control by Separatist forces or it was taken over by the Sangheili, Unggoy and Lekgolo on Installation 05. After the Flood infested High Charity, the Shadow of Intent and its accompanying fleet engaged in quarantine tactics over the city, doing their best to prevent the Flood from escaping.
The Flood Escape
- Main article: Second Battle of Earth
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.
Assault on Installation 00
- Main article: Battle of Installation 00
The ship later led a joint UNSC-Separatist force through the slipspace portal to the Installation 00, also known as the "Ark", where it engaged and defeated the Prophet of Truth's fleet.
End of the Prophets
- "I shall beat the Prophet's shields like a drum"
- — Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum
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 The Arbiter is given command of the vessel by Rtas' Vadum and sets a course to return to 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 during and after the Second Battle of Earth.
- During the meeting between Fleet Admiral Sir Terrence Hood and Shipmaster Rtas' Vadum, the frigate UNSC Forward Unto Dawn was small enough to fit inside the Shadow of Intent's hangar located in the middle of the ship's hull [4]
