Skirmish on Infinite Succor: Difference between revisions

''Infinite Succor'' was one of many supply ships of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], providing food for its crews during their battles at Alpha Halo. Shortly after the Flood broke loose inside one of the ring's [[Flood containment facility|Flood containment facilities]], the [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]] dropship ''[[Brilliant Gift]]'' escaped and flew into orbit with numerous Flood-infected aboard. The dropship crashed into the ''Succor's'' hangar and spread throughout the ship, killing and infecting the crew and livestock aboard.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 7-9''</ref> Though containment protocols activated to keep the boarders in the hangar, they only kept the crew stuck inside until the Flood killed them and then overpowered the security doors. A distress signal managed to be sent just before the crew was overwhelmed, but it had no solid information on who the attackers were.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 10-11''</ref> Suspecting that [[John-117|"the Demon"]] might be aboard, Supreme Commander [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee commissioned a Sangheili and Unggoy special operations unit, led [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee, to reclaim the ship, kill its boarders, and rescue any survivors. They were given command codes and a map of the ship, codes that would allow access to all areas unless overriden by the ''Succor's'' commander, the [[Minister of Etiology]].<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 15''</ref>
