At least one ship, the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', was attached to the ''[[Fleet of Particular Justice]]'' and participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. The ''Infinite Succor'' became infested by the [[Flood]] who attempted to use the ship to escape the Halo ring and spread into the galaxy. Unable to contain the Flood infestation, [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee sent the ship on a [[slipspace]] jump into the [[Soell system]]'s star, destroying it and the Flood onboard. Only Rtas himself survived [[Skirmish on Infinite Succor|the engagement]]. | At least one ship, the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', was attached to the ''[[Fleet of Particular Justice]]'' and participated in the [[Battle of Installation 04]].
