Removing references to the ship being part of a separate fleet. Priority Broadcast logs and Loot Crate intel make it abundantly clear the ship was part of the Fleet of Particular Justice, even if "First Strike" implies otherwise.

''Ascendant Justice'' was part of the Fleet of Particular Justice, arriving at Installation 04 just before the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]] 3''', ''[[:File:LC 003 Doc2.png|Data Drop]]''</ref> During the Battle of Installation 04, the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] alternated his base of operations between ''Ascendant Justice'' in orbit and ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' just above Halo's surface. When [[Supreme Commander]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee sent a single infantry unit to relieve the Prophet for his constant force misappropriation, Stewardship ordered ''Ascendant Justice'' to destroy their transports on approach, warning that any other affronts to his leadership would result in equally lethal fates. 'Vadamee then assembled a strike force to retake ''Ascendant Justice'' and physically relieve the Prophet of leadership until the humans were eliminated, but Stewardship left for ''Truth and Reconciliation'' before they arrived, leaving orders for the crew to arrest 'Vadamee if he continued to interfere with the Consecration. When Thel's force arrived on ''Ascendant Justice'', no shots were fired and the crew acknowledged his authority.{{Ref/Reuse|Rerelease}}{{Ref/Note|Though ''Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit'' provides a backstory for ''Ascendant Justice''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s part in the Battle of Installation 04, it does not explain why the ship's warrior complement was so small. It can be inferred that the Prophet of Stewardship killed most of the crew to quell any real or imagined affronts to his leadership. It is also possible that most of the crew was transferred off the vessel due to the Prophet's insubordination.}} | |||
