Incorruptible

Template:Ratings Template:Ship The Incorruptible was a Reverence-class Cruiser serving within the Covenant Navy.

Background

It was attached and affixed to the Second Fleet of Homogeneous Clarity ^[1] and was crewed by Sangheili from the Elite Dn'end Legion ^[2].

When the Great Schism started in November 2552, the Incorruptible was transferred into service within the Covenant Separatist Navy.

Ironically the incorruptible suffered from a mutiny early in the book Halo: Ghosts of Onyx

History

Covenant Naval service

During the 9th Age of Reclamation, the vessel was commanded by Tano 'Inanraree. It was a vanguard ship of High Charity and the Defense Fleet, following the holy city likely from Installation 04 to Installation 05, and safeguarding it during the Battle of Installation 05.

Covenant Separatist Naval service

Battle of High Charity

During the Battle of High Charity in November 2552, a crewmember, Major Voro 'Mantakree, with the support of the rest of the crew, killed the Shipmaster using a Needler-pistol weapon. Tano ordered the Incorruptible closer to the tainted ring so that they would be infected by the Flood.

During the engagement with the Loyalist Navy, 'Mantakree appointed himself the Commanding Officer and fended off attacks from Chieftain Gargantum who controlled several ships. They then fled to the outpost world Joyous Exaltation in the Salia system, heeding the call of Imperial Admiral Xytan 'Jar Wattinree ^[3].

The Imperial Admiral gave Voro the rank of Zealot and made him a Fleet Master. The Incorruptible was assigned as the flagship of a small fleet of 30 ships sent to Onyx to chase the captured destroyer Bloodied Spirit and prevent the Humans from taking Forerunner artifacts.

Battle of Onyx

The Incorruptible, along with its ships, took part in the Battle of Onyx where it was destroyed by HORNET Mines laid by the prowler, UNSC Dusk. Anything that remained of the ship or the fleet was destroyed when Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose detonated the FENRIS Nuclear Warheads and when the hundreds of thousands of Sentinels destroyed the planet from the inside.

Contrition

During that battle, 'Inanraree insanely and crazily ordered the ship to be infected by the Flood, as he was a member of the Governors of Contrition.

The Governors of Contrition was a radical fringe sect of Covenant who believe that all creations of the Forerunner are sacrosanct (sacred). They also believed that the Flood were a perfect life-form and that it was the duty of the Covenant to protect and embrace the Flood, even though they were not made by the Forerunners.
