From around [[2549]] to [[2552]], it was responsible for the destruction of quite a few UNSC [[warship]]s.

The leader of the [[Banished]], Atriox, had raided an air base formerly belonging to the Covenant but had successfully been captured and taken aboard the ship as a prisoner. Twelve hours later, ''Enduring Conviction'' broke formation and contact with the rest of its fleet. The ''Conviction'' was hailed, warned, and then fired upon when it ignored orders. The ''Conviction'' performed evasive maneuvers, returned fire and escaped. It accomplished this through the same infamous maneuver that had been logged by the UNSC in 2551.

On [[2558#November|November 25, 2558]], the ''Enduring Conviction'' arrived in force at [[Installation 00]],<ref name="TS">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', ''[[The Signal]]''</ref> carrying with it a massive amount of infantry, vehicles, and aircraft. Instead of launching any [[orbital bombardment]]s from the ship, Atriox ordered ground forces to be deployed to the Ark's surface. These made short work of the UNSC researchers at the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]]. Forthwith, the ship remained stationed above the installation for months while the Banished began to extract power and resources from the [[Forerunner]] creation. Anything valuable discovered or taken was commonly ferried to the ship overhead.

Around four months after the Banished first took control of the Ark, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} also exited [[slipstream space]] above it on March 28, [[2559]]. After the presence of the Banished was revealed to the crew, a [[Second Ark Conflict|protracted conflict]] began between those serving Atriox and those following the lead of Captain [[James Cutter]]. During this time, the ''Conviction's'' [[pulse laser turret]]s were used offensively to melt UNSC forces on the ground. In the first instance the ship was used like this, it was during a defense of a salvage operation being overseen by [[Decimus]].{{Ref/Level|Id=ANE|HW2|A New Enemy}} From the ground, Decimus not only had the carrier make a show of damaging the ''Spirit of Fire's'' recently-built [[firebase]], but also repeatedly ordered the shipmaster to target his own location briefly and with precision, as he was protected from the lasers by a powerful [[energy shield]] that his mechanized power armor could encapsulate him in for short periods.{{Ref/Reuse|ANE}} When it became clear that he would not be able to fend off the attack, Decimus retreated but the ''Enduring Conviction'' continued to bombard the area, killing UNSC and Banished troops alike, ostensibly to keep the [[human]]s from learning anything from the operation.{{Ref/Reuse|ANE}} The same tactic was repeated when Decimus entered the fight once more on March 30.{{Ref/Level|Id=LI|HW2|Lights Out}} Decimus was killed at that moment, however, and the ''Enduring Conviction'' finally began to attack the ''Spirit of Fire'' more directly by launching vacuum-rated [[Type-26 Banshee|Type-26A Banshee]] fighters to harass it while it moved to hover over the location where it had been deploying troops and supplies to the Ark's surface via a [[gravity lift]].{{Ref/Reuse|LI}}{{clear}}

As the ''Spirit of Fire'' attempted to fend off the swarm of Banshees, Captain Cutter expressed frustration at his inability to beat the ''Enduring Conviction'', should it turn its full attention to the modified {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}. The [[smart AI|smart]] [[artificial intelligence|AI]], [[Isabel]], proposed a plan for dealing with the ship. She put forward that the only way they would have a chance at destroying the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} was if they could get the Ark's [[Sentinel]]s to do it for them. From there, the plan became to infiltrate the ship and take control of one of its [[energy projector]]s, which could be used to [[glass]] the Ark's surface and provoke a response from the constructs. From there, the plan was simple enough. Ground forces were split into two portions to assist with the operation. One contingent assaulted the Banished around a large Forerunner [[particle cannon]], which was taken over and aimed at the ''Enduring Conviction''.

At R-7012-5093, according to a Sangheili method of keeping time, the cannon immobilized the ship and caused its energy shielding to begin draining. The [[Huragok]] aboard assured the crew that the cannon was no danger to the hull, but that the loss of the shield could open ''Conviction'' up to more attacks.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} This prompted a swift and heavy response from the Banished on the surface, and the carrier also diverted air units to attack the UNSC on the ground. As all local troops pushed to retake the particle cannon, dual units led by [[Jerome-092]] and [[Alice-130]] flew in [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] toward the depleted base around the ship's gravity lift.

Since being appropriated by the Banished, the ''Enduring Conviction'' was modified to reflect the aesthetic characteristic of the faction. Red lighting was implemented throughout the interior and even the exterior of the ship was made to exude glowing red patterns. The energy put out by its aft ventral beam and gravity lift appeared orange but the beams from its pulse laser turrets took on a bright red or blue hue. Before its destruction, the ''Conviction'' was the largest ship controlled by the Banished per the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. It was typically crewed by Jiralhanae, Sangheili, and [[Unggoy]], but also transported various gestalts of [[Lekgolo]]. A number of [[Huragok]] were also kept aboard the vessel.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}
