Raider's Creche was a medium destroyer of unknown classification serving in the navy for the colony world of Om'a'Varo, sworn to the Swords of Sanghelios.[1] In 2559, it partook in the expedition to Netherop under the command of High Kaidon Olabisi Varo'dai as part of a larger Swords of Sanghelios alliance put together by Thel 'Vadam to find and recover an ancient superweapon on the planet. However, Raider's Creche was destroyed in the fighting by the activation of the weapon, along with all other vessels in orbit.[2][3]
Service history[edit]
Raider's Creche was summoned to Netherop in November 2559 as part of a call by the Arbiter to his allies, in the hopes of acquiring a superweapon that could put an end to the Created uprising. Under command of High Kaidon 'Varodai, Raider's Creche arrived in orbit alongside a flotilla of four Feldokran corvettes under the command of Ghe 'Talot. 'Varodai and 'Talot quickly disagreed on how to approach the task of clearing Netherop's orbital mine shell, with 'Varodai preferring to spend time clearing the mines where 'Talot wished to observe from a high orbit. As such, Raider's Creche, and its Seraphs, descended into a low orbit to begin the laborious task of clearing the mines - something they did for 75 units (around 75 hours) until the Arbiter's command frigate Sword of Harmony arrived in-system. Raider's Creche's Seraphs were also deployed to scout the planetary system around Netherop to ensure the Sangheili were alone; these Seraphs did not pick up on the presence of a hidden Banished strike force hidden on one of the moons.[1]
After the Arbiter and his forces (including High Kaidon 'Varodai) deployed onto Netherop, Raider's Creche sat in orbit alongside 'Talot's corvettes and the UNSC Point Blank-class stealth cruiser UNSC Hidden Point until relatively late in the conflict, at which point the Created Acolyte-class harriers tasked to guard Netherop returned to the world. The harriers launched attacks on the alliance flotilla in orbit, resulting in all ships taking heavy damage. On the ground, 'Vadam used the Divine Hand superweapon in an effort to save the fleet, though was interrupted when Tam 'Lakosee interfered with the firing process, unwilling to see a Forerunner craft purposefully destroyed. Decrying 'Vadam as an apostate, 'Lakosee altered the Divine Hand's targeting to include all of the alliance ships, resulting in every single vessel in orbit being completely destroyed, including Raider's Creche.[2][3]
