| | The '''''Shadow of Intent''''' is the flagship of the Fleet of Retribution, as its Ship Master is [[Rtas 'Vadum]]. 'Vadum commands the ''Shadow of Intent'' during the [[Human]]-[[Covenant]] War as he originally supported the Covenant and the [[High Prophets]] "great journey" before he discovered the true purpose of [[Halo]] with the help of [[The Arbiter]], Thel 'Vadam. After becoming a superb leader of the Covenant Seperatists, 'Vadum commanded his fleet (along with the''Intent'') to aid humanity against the [[High Prophet of Truth]] along with the [[Flood]]. After the war ended, with Truth and the [[Gravemind]] destroyed, the Arbiter and 'Vadum returned to their home world, Sanghelios.<br> |

| ==History==
| |
| ===Battle of Installation 05===
| |
| {{main|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 (Structure)|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|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===
| |
| [[File:ShadowOfIntent H3 LevCovenant1.jpeg|thumb|200px|The ''Shadow of Intent'' being hit by a Segment from the fragmenting High Charity.]]
| |
| {{main|Battle of Installation 00}}
| |
| The ship later led a joint UNSC-Covenant Separatist force through the slipspace portal to [[Installation 00]], also known as "[[The Artifact|The Ark]]", where it engaged and defeated the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[Truth's Fleet|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 (Forerunner)|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 [[Flood Dispersal Pod]] from the Flood-infested ''[[High Charity]]'', which had just arrived via [[Slipspace]]. The ship was afflicted with "significant damage" and lost use of its major weapons systems, although it was able to stay in commission and return to Earth with all the surviving Humans and Sangheili. <ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', level ''[[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Return to Sanghelios===
| |
| After the memorial service to those killed in the Human-Covenant war, [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] is given command of the vessel by Rtas 'Vadum and sets a course to return to [[Sanghelios]]. <ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', ''Epilogue''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *At the bow 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 in ''Halo 3''.
| |
| *During the meeting between [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Sir Terrence Hood]] and [[Shipmaster]] Rtas 'Vadum, the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} was small enough to fit inside the ''Shadow of Intent'''s hangar located in the middle of the ship's hull. <ref name="floodgate"/>
| |
| *There is a [[Marathon]] symbol on the table in the ''Shadow of Intent''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s bridge.
| |
| *The [[Secret Room On The Ark]] is actually the ''Shadow of Intent'''s [[bridge]].
