Infinite Succor was a Mjern-pattern agricultural support ship of the Covenant, attached to the Fleet of Particular Justice.[1]
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
Infinite Succor was a logistical support ship for the Fleet of Particular Justice. Like the others of the Mjern-pattern, Infinite Succor was fitted with on-board hunting preserves filled with wildlife that could be used by the fleet's Sangheili cohort to hunt for recreational purposes - alongside serving as a source of food.[1]
Crew and complement[edit]
The Infinite Succor had no Sangheili in its crew - and thus lacked any kind of EVA suit intended for Sangheili personnel. The ship had a nonstandard security complement, with fewer on-board troops than the usual warriors present on support ships - leading to the installation of a safe room buried deep within the ship in case of hostile boarding. The safe room's location was not known to the crew, and was intended only to keep the ship's Minor Prophet captain - the Minister of Etiology - safe. Lacking any Sangheili crewmembers, the ship's complement comprised of Unggoy and Huragok - with their blood later noted as littering the decks after the Flood outbreak on the ship.[1]
Aside from the standard crew, the hunting preserves aboard the ship held a large number of nonsapient fauna for hunting and food production. The complement included at least ten unique life forms, including large, dangerous predators as well as prey animals. Some of the creatures resembled Earth canines, swine, ungulates, and marsupials, but with more exotic morphologies.[1]
Service history[edit]
Battle of Installation 04[edit]
- Main article: Skirmish on Infinite Succor
In September 2552, Infinite Succor was a part of the Fleet of Particular Justice when it pursued the Halcyon-class light cruiser, UNSC Pillar of Autumn, away from the Fall of Reach. Arriving at the Autumn's destination before the Autumn could, Infinite Succor was one of the Covenant vessels to discover Installation 04 and took part in the ensuing campaign. Following an outbreak of the Flood parasite on the ringworld's surface on September 20,[7] the Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit dropship Brilliant Gift was able to successfully depart the ring's surface under the control of the Flood. The dropship proceeded to rendezvous with the Fleet of Particular Justice, and made directly for Infinite Succor - crashing into the ship's hangar bay after numerous repeated warnings that the Spirit did not have permission to dock. Almost immediately upon impact, the now-destroyed Spirit began to disembark its payload of Flood attackers, which began to attack the ship's crew and begin the process of infection. One Unggoy crewmember was able to sound the alarm and request aid from the fleet's flagship Seeker of Truth, but was killed before he could finish his request.[1] However, this was enough to sound the ship's boarding alarm, prompting the Minister of Etiology to retreat to the ship's hidden safe room, and for Supreme Commander Thel 'Vadamee to prepare a strike team to board the ship to investigate.[1][8]
The boarding team tasked with investigating Infinite Succor consisted of a SpecOps detachment led by Commander Rtas 'Vadumee and Sub-commander Bero 'Kusovai, with two
