Following the [[Voi Memorial|end]] of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2553#March|March 2553]], an attempted [[Jiralhanae]] insurrection in [[Ontom]] led [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth, to the decision for an immediate assault on the state of [[Vadam]] against the newly formed [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Along with nine ships and forces from [[Nuan keep]] and [[Rtova keep]], 'Telcam commanded the assault from the [[Covenant frigate|frigate]] ''[[Unflinching Resolve]]''.{{Ref/Novel|TTW|Page=114}} Eventually, however, the ''Unflinching Resolve'' suffered a direct hit and crash landed.
