In [[2552#April|April 2552]], the ''Sanctity of Purification'' was part of a [[Covenant]] invasion force sent to attack the colony of [[Fumirole]]. During the resulting [[Battle of Fumirole]], the ''Sanctity'' would hold position over a city on the planet during a pitched battle between [[UNSC Army]] forces and the ''Sanctity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s troop complement, using its [[gravity lift]] to move troops and supplies onto the planetary surface.<ref name="DH">''[[Deliver Hope]]''</ref> | In [[2552#April|April 2552]], the ''Sanctity of Purification'' was part of a [[Covenant]] invasion force sent to attack the colony of [[Fumirole]].

The team would be succesful in pushing on the cruiser, though a well-placed [[fuel rod]] air strike by a [[Type-26 Banshee]] would ultimately hit Kat, rendering her unable to complete the mission. Due to this, [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan]] [[Thom-A293]] would take the nuke with only a small amount of time left until detonation, and proceed to use his [[Series 8 jetpack]] to fly into the gravity lift and enter the [[hangar]] bay of the battlecruiser and throw the nuke into the middle of the Covenant deployment.<ref name="DH"/> | ||
Ultimately, the ''Sanctity of Purification'' would be consumed in the detonation of the nuke, destroying the battlecruiser and Thom in the process.
