- "Hail humans, and take heed. This is the carrier Shadow of Intent. Clear this sector, while we deal with the Flood."
- — Rtas 'Vadum
Shadow of Intent is a Covenant separatist assault carrier.[1] Commanded by the Ship Master Rtas 'Vadum, it served as the flagship of the Fleet of Retribution.
History
Battle of Installation 05
- Main article: Battle of Installation 05
The Shadow of Intent was re-captured by the Sangheili (and perhaps the Unggoy and Mgalekgolo of the Covenant separatists) on Installation 05 from the Covenant Loyalists. After the Flood had infested High Charity, the Shadow of Intent and its accompanying Sangheili Fleet engaged in quarantine tactics over High Charity, trying their best to prevent the Flood from escaping the borders of the infested city while also dealing with the Loyalist threat.
Quarantine outbreak
- Main article: Battle of Voi
However, a Flood-infested cruiser broke through their lines and jumped to Earth. A Sangheili battlegroup led by Rtas 'Vadum broke off their blockade and followed it, intent on preventing it from infecting the planet. It took part in the later stages of the 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-Covenant separatist force through the slipspace portal to Installation 00, where it engaged and defeated the Prophet of Truth's fleet despite facing forces three times their own strength numerically.
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 then took part in a diversionary bombardment of the shield protecting the Citadel.
When the shield was deactivated by a combined Human and Sangheili strike team, led by the Master Chief and the Arbiter, Shadow of Intent moved in to destroy the Citadel by bombardment. Before the Shadow of Intent could get into position, however, the Flood-infested High Charity arrived via Slipspace and crashed on the surface of the Ark, shedding debris as it fell. A large fragment smashed through the Shadow of Intent amidships and inflicted severe damage, knocking out all of the carrier's weapon systems. Despite the damage, the ship managed to stay in commission and return to Earth with all the surviving humans and Sangheili. [2]
Return to Sanghelios
After the memorial service to those killed in the Human-Covenant war, the Arbiter was given command of the vessel by Rtas 'Vadum and sets a course to return to Sanghelios. [3]
Trivia
- There is a Marathon symbol on the table on the Shadow of Intent's bridge.
- The Secret Room On The Ark is actually the Shadow of Intent's bridge.
