'''''Sacred Promise''''' was a [[Covenant]] {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}.<ref name="Conversations">''Conversations from the Universe''</ref>


[[CCS-class]] [[Covenant]] Battle Cruiser. The events surrounding the fate of the ''Sacred Promise'' are unknown both to the other characters of Halo and the fans of the game alike. A message from the ''Sacred Promise'' was included in the [[Conversations from the Universe]] booklet, which came with the extended edition of [[Halo 2]]. It is worth noting that a few [[Transmissions]] came from the ''Sacred Promise''.
==History==
During the [[Fall of Reach]], the ''Sacred Promise'' sent a taunting message to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. The onboard [[AI]] [[Cortana]] replied with her own taunting message.{{Citation needed}}


The Black box from the vessel was recovered, though the booklet never specifically mentions where. At the beginning of the recording, the vessel has already sustained heavy damage. The Captain orders most of the weapons of the ship offline due to some kind of extensive danger. He then requests protection from the ''[[Devotion]]'' and fighter support from the ''[[Commitment and Patience]]''. However, the enemy contact fires a "projectile" that ruptures the fuel cells of ''Commitment and Patience'', and it vaporizes almost instantly. There is some kind of impact and the ''Sacred Promise'' loses drive control, and descends toward the "Primary satellite". It seems that its own fuel cells were ruptured as well though. There is no other information provided about the vessel, whether any crew survived, or what they were fighting.
During an engagement with [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces, ''Sacred Promise'' was severely damaged, forcing its weapons to be taken offline. An attempt was made to elicit support from ''[[Devotion]]'' and fighter cover from ''[[Commitment and Patience]]''. However, before any help could arrive, ''Commitment and Patience'' was crippled by a well aimed [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]] round which ruptured several fuel cells and put the main drive into a "runaway state."{{Ref/Reuse|Conversations}}


The "Projectile" could possibly be a human [[MAC]] gun round, but this cannot be confirmed. It could be theorized that it's part of the fleet battling UNSC forces above Earth during the first levels of Halo 2, as it is one if the few instances where UNSC has had relative space superiority through superior numbers.
The bridge crew of ''Commitment and Patience'' completely lost drive control and the ship crashed into the thin atmosphere of a local satellite after a failed attempt to stop the engines by forcibly ejecting the ship's fuel cells. The transmissions between ''Sacred Promise'' and other ships ended after the destruction of ''Commitment and Patience''.{{Ref/Reuse|Conversations}}

Sacred Promise was a Covenant Ket-pattern battlecruiser.[1]

History[edit]

During the Fall of Reach, the Sacred Promise sent a taunting message to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. The onboard AI Cortana replied with her own taunting message.[citation needed]

During an engagement with UNSC forces, Sacred Promise was severely damaged, forcing its weapons to be taken offline. An attempt was made to elicit support from Devotion and fighter cover from Commitment and Patience. However, before any help could arrive, Commitment and Patience was crippled by a well aimed Magnetic Accelerator Cannon round which ruptured several fuel cells and put the main drive into a "runaway state."[1]

The bridge crew of Commitment and Patience completely lost drive control and the ship crashed into the thin atmosphere of a local satellite after a failed attempt to stop the engines by forcibly ejecting the ship's fuel cells. The transmissions between Sacred Promise and other ships ended after the destruction of Commitment and Patience.[1]
