Shadow of Intent
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Template:Ship The Shadow of Intent is an Assault Carrier used by the Covenant Separatists First Sangheilian Fleet[1]. It was commanded by Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum.
History
It took part in the Second Battle of Earth, where it supported local United Nations Space Command units by landing troops and vehicles into the area. Later, it glassed the city of voi and outskers in Africa, to prevent the Flood from spreading.
The ship later led a joint UNSC-Separatist force through the slipspace portal to the Ark, where it engaged and defeated the Prophet of Truth's fleet. However, shortly after entering the installation's atmosphere, the ship was hit by a large piece of debris from the Flood-infested High Charity, which had just arrived. The ship was critically damaged, though was able to stay in commission and return to Earth.
After the memorial service to those killed in the Battle of Installation 00, the Arbiter is given command of the vessel by 'Vadum, where it then returns to Sengehlios.
