Radiant Perception[3] was a CPV-class heavy destroyer in service with the Covenant and a part of the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction.[1]
History
On February 9, 2531, Radiant Perception and the rest of the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction attacked the human Outer Colony of Arcadia, beginning the Battle of Arcadia. Towards the end of the battle, United Nations Space Command forces under the command of Admiral Preston Cole began to push Covenant forces out of the system. While Phoenix-class colony ship UNSC Spirit of Fire pursued the fleet, she dropped a log buoy detailing her destination. Halcyon-class light cruiser UNSC Roman Blue, under the command of Captain Terrence Hood, was tasked with retrieving the buoy, however Hood instead attacked Radiant Perception, enraged by the massive losses the Covenant had already inflicted on humanity. Radiant Perception quickly outmatched Roman Blue and Hood ordered a retreat from the system, without recovering Spirit of Fire's log buoy.[1] It was theorized by Captain William Webb that Radiant Perception may have picked up Spirit of Fire's log buoy.[3]
