'''[[Sangheili General|General]] Ardo 'Moretumee''' was a [[Sangheili]] [[shipmaster]] of the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', serving in the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}}{{Ref/Reuse|evg}}

A leader of few words, Ardo 'Moretumee climbed the ranks of the [[Covenant]]'s [[Ministry of Fervent Intercession]] to the status of [[shipmaster]] with a mix of martial prowess and tactical cunning. His family held considerable power in the [[High Council]], though 'Moretumee's personal ambitions were impossible to discern. He eventually served as the shipmaster of the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', serving the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] under [[Supreme Commander]] [[Rho 'Barutamee]]. The [[fleet]] was tasked by the Ministry of Fervent Intercession with the recovery and research of [[Forerunner]] artifacts.{{Ref/Reuse|wf76}}

On the night of [[2552#July|July 23, 2552]], the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, including ''Ardent Prayer'', was deployed as an advance force to the [[human]] planet [[Reach]]. Over the following weeks, the fleet engaged human targets across the planet. After the fleet's flagship, the {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'', revealed its location during the [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge]], [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN]] [[Catherine-B320]] formulated [[Operation: UPPER CUT]], a plan to destroy ''Long Night of Solace'' through the use of an improvised "[[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace bomb]]".{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}}

On [[2552#August|August 14]], [[SPARTAN-B312]], [[Jorge-052]], and several [[YSS-1000 Sabre]] pilots, with the assistance of the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}}, boarded ''Ardent Prayer''; the UNSC intended to use ''Ardent Prayer'' to deliver the improvised bomb to ''Long Night of Solace'' while the former was en route to refuel with the supercarrier. As the boarders made their way through the corvette, they assaulted the bridge. The bridge crew were caught unaware; although 'Moretumee and his companions defended themselves, they were killed by the boarders. ''Ardent Prayer'' then continued toward ''Long Night of Solace'' and the bomb was activated, destroying both vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|LNoS}}
