This unidentified vessel was a Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser that was captured and infected by the parasitic Flood. The Flood used this vessel in an attempt to infect the human homeworld of Earth.

Background

The crash site of the battlecruiser.

This battlecruiser was captured by the Flood during the Sangheili's quarantine of Installation 05 and High Charity. After absorbing the ship's crew and passengers to provide biomass, the Flood broke through the Sangheili blockade and set course for Earth. The ship arrived at Earth moments after the Prophet of Truth's forces activated the Forerunner portal device between Voi and Mombasa, Kenya. The ship crash-landed just outside the town of Voi, releasing numerous Flood forms into the city. These forms immediately began to infect the UNSC Marine defenders and the corpses of Covenant forces killed during the previous battle. Its infected crew and the newly-infected victims quickly spread, threatening to overrun the city of Voi and its surroundings.

Soon after the vessel arrived, the Sangheili Fleet of Retribution, led by Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum, emerged from Slipspace over Voi. In order to prevent further Flood contamination, SPARTAN John-117 and Arbiter Thel 'Vadam decided to destroy the ship by detonating its fusion reactors. However, the Fleet of Retribution instead began to glass the contaminated area, destroying the remains of the ship and halting the Flood threat.[1]
