The '''''Sacred Whisper''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[intrusion corvette]] commanded by [[Shipmaster]] [[Hulon 'Budyasee]]. It served as the [[flagship]] of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]] in early [[2526]]. The corvette was used by [[Sangheili First Blade officer|First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]] of the [[Silent Shadow]] as he led the flotilla to meet with [[human]] [[insurrectionist]]s and to search for the rumored [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] supersoldiers.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} | The '''''Sacred Whisper''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[intrusion corvette]] commanded by [[Shipmaster]] [[Hulon 'Budyasee]].

As is the case with the other [[intrusion corvette]]s of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]], the ''Sacred Whisper'' was shaped like a pair of teardrops connected by a thin center fuselage, lined with rows of blue lights.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} The bridge featured an observation blister which allowed a crewmember to see into space directly ahead of the ship. At the back of the bridge was a maze of control consoles and equipment stands, including a tactical [[Holography|hologram]] projector. The hologram projector was surrounded by ten data-collection lecterns, each manned by a [[Sangheili]] reader. Typically, two [[obedientaries]] would each observe five of these readers each, standing at opposite ends of the tactical hologram. The spine of the vessel contained a contemplation sphere where certain high-ranking Sangheili officers could meditate in peace.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS12}} | As is the case with the other [[intrusion corvette]]s of the [[Bloodstar Flotilla]], the ''Sacred Whisper'' was shaped like a pair of teardrops connected by a thin center fuselage, lined with rows of blue lights.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} The bridge featured an observation blister which allowed a crewmember to see into space directly ahead of the ship.

The barrage successfully downed the {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}, the flagship of the human task force.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}} Impacting the quarry wall, the prowler's fuselage was heavily damaged and an avalanche was caused, resulting in the prowler coming to a rest atop a massive ice pile.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} Realizing that the barrage had yielded the desired results, 'Szatulai ordered the flotilla to move in to recover the disabled stealth vessel, all while fending off the other human ships. As the corvettes approached the quarry, they detected [[Emmeline|a transport]] take off from [[Subsurface Maintenance Grotto 6M430|a maintenance grotto]]. All five corvettes—including the ''Sacred Whisper''—fired on the vessel as it fled toward Biko. The ''[[Worthy Silence]]'' made it to the crash site before the others and deployed Bloodstar forces to secure the wreck. Before it could be recovered, a team of twelve [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] arrived and contested them. However, with the arrival of a second corvette, the Spartans were forced to restart the avalanche with their [[M301 grenade launcher|grenade launcher]]s, burying half of them in the ice, but also delaying the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS15|HSS|Chapter=15}} As 'Szatulai's Bloodstars fought the Spartans for control of the ''Starry Night'', two more of the intrusion corvettes approached to harass the supersoldiers. Despite this, the humans gained access to the prowler and its [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] [[self-destruct]] system, and a strafing run from the task force destroyed two of the flotilla's corvettes and chased off a third. With the situation turning in the Spartans' favor, the ''Worthy Silence'' began lifting the prowler into its hangar bay via [[gravity lift]]. It was too late, however, as the team inside the prowler armed the [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|nuke]] and fled in an escape pod. The explosion pulverized both the ''Starry Night'' and the corvette, leaving the ''Sacred Whisper'' and only one other corvette as the remaining vessels of the Bloodstar Flotilla.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} | The barrage successfully downed the {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}}, the flagship of the human task force.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}} Impacting the quarry wall, the prowler's fuselage was heavily damaged and an avalanche was caused, resulting in the prowler coming to a rest atop a massive ice pile.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} Realizing that the barrage had yielded the desired results, 'Szatulai ordered the flotilla to move in to recover the disabled stealth vessel, all while fending off the other human ships.
