Talk:Data Drop

Data Drop 4 makes reference to "a flagship carrier [CLASS-FIVE CSO/CAS], we’ve [never] had... permanent access [to]" which is classified "RL-54". Is it possible this might be referring to Raid on the Third Fleet of Glorious Consequence, where several Spartans did indeed storm an Assault Carrier?

That is what I was thinking as well. I believe there are only 5 other instances of boarding a Covenant vessel, 4 of which are done after this data drop (At the Ardent Prayer, Ascendant Justice, Truth and Reconciliation, and one CAS-class assault carrier which the Chief briefly boarded and then destroyed in the Battle of Earth) and the other one was done by all of the Spartan IIs at the duel between the UNSC Commonwealth and the Unrelenting, which I think is a light cruiser. So that is the only thing that makes sense. Let me know if I missed any. pestilence Phil, pestilence! 16:59, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

I don't know why it's called "RL-54", though. I figured maybe "RL" was the initials of the boarded ship, but the flagship during the "Glorious Consequence raid" was the Resplendent Fervor, which doesn't match. The "AF-23" mention of a Prophet's vitality to the Covenant also brings to mind the Raid on Heian, provided it too is referencing a previous event. It's unsure what the initials and numbers mean, but otherwise these are the previous events that seem to match up. Tuckerscreator^(stalk)
