==History== | ==History== | ||
The [[Carrow Conflict]] was initially going in [[Rojka 'Kaasan]]'s favor, but the arrival of ''Foebane'' and other Jiralhanae ship turned the tide in [[Thars 'Sarov]]'s favor. After defeating most of Rojka's ships, Hekabe began landing on the surface of Carrow. One of Rojka's remaining [[Covenant frigate|frigate]]s, ''[[Vengeful Deed]]'', attempted to take ''Foebane'' by surprise but was destroyed by the other Jiralhanae ships. ''Foebane'' began landing troops in [[Suraka]] to secure the city. | |||

For the majority of the battle, ''Foebane'' hovered over [[Suraka]], using its ventral [[energy projector]] to dig a crater leading to the [[Sharquoi]] hive beneath the city. When the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]] counterattacked, they targeted the cruiser with their largest non-nuclear weapon dropped from a Pelican dropship, [[Grizzly]] tanks on the ground and eight merchant ships armed with point-defense guns. While none of the attacks penetrated ''Foebane's'' shields, they were a distraction as four more merchant ships in orbit shoved three half-mined asteroids at the cruiser while it was distracted. | For the majority of the battle, ''Foebane'' hovered over [[Suraka]], using its ventral [[energy projector]] to dig a crater leading to the [[Sharquoi]] hive beneath the city.

The first asteroid failed to penetrate the shields, but released megatons of kinetic energy against it, causing the shields, already under strain from the incessant barrage against it, to flicker. The second asteroid penetrated the cruiser's shields and exploded against the hull in a brilliantly white fireball. When the third asteroid struck, ''Foebane'' appeared to fold in midair, gushing blue and white flames and canted over as it dipped out towards the far edge of the crater it had dug. The merchant ships descended and continued firing upon ''Foebane'' which finally crumpled to the ground outside the city between Suarka and the rocky hills that led to the [[Uldt]]. ''Foebane'' was left burning where it fell, effectively destroyed. | ||
