Throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''Solemn Penance'' and fellow assault carrier ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'' were responsible for the [[glassing]] of over a dozen [[human colonies]]. | Throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]], ''Solemn Penance'' and fellow assault carrier ''[[Day of Jubilation]]'' were responsible for the [[glassing]] of over a dozen [[human colonies]].<ref name="spartan games">[http://shop.spartangames.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=HFCV05 '''Spartan Games''': ''Covenant Assault Carrier'']</ref> ''Solemn Penance'' was present in the [[Battle of Meridian|Battle]] of [[Meridian]] in [[2551]], remaining in orbit while the world was glassed. Following the battle, a [[Covenant Special Operations]] team was dispatched by the [[Prophet of Regret]] to the [[moon]]'s surface to search for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. The team retrieved a [[Luminary]] and delivered it to Regret. Some time later, Regret's [[Steward]]s successfully decrypted the Luminary, which revealed the existence of the [[Installation 00|final home of the Forerunners]], as well as a [[Excession|portal that led to it]]. The Luminary also revealed the location of this portal; [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]]. In [[2552#October|October of 2552]], the Stewards presented their findings to Regret by personally showing him the information it contained aboard the carrier. Regret hastily assembled the relatively small [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]]—with ''Solemn Penance'' as its [[flagship]], ''Day of Jubilation'', and thirteen {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s—and departed for Erde-Tyrene shortly after, unaware that the planet was the home of humanity.{{Ref/Game|H2A|Detail=[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 14]]}} | ||

''Solemn Penance'' arrived in the [[Sol system]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]] over [[Jupiter]], along with the rest of the Fleet of Sacred Consecration, expecting to find and uncover the [[Excession|entrance to the Ark]]. Instead, they emerged from [[slipstream space]] into the heavy defenses of the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], defending humanity's homeworld, Earth. ''Solemn Penance'' and its fleet were reported to Home Fleet's command by [[Io Station]] when the Covenant passed the relay station.{{Ref/Game|H2A|[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 15]]}} While the cruisers engaged the human warships and [[orbital defense platform]]s, the assault carriers used boarding parties of [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] to carry [[antimatter charge]]s onto three platforms, intending to blast a hole large enough for them to circumvent the defenses and reach Earth's surface. Though two ODPs were successfully destroyed, the second assault carrier was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]], who used the bomb that was intended to destroy ''[[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]]''. However, Regret's vessel continued unimpeded, descending to [[New Mombasa]], in [[Kenya]], [[Africa]].{{Ref/Level|H2|Cairo Station}} | ''Solemn Penance'' arrived in the [[Sol system]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]] over [[Jupiter]], along with the rest of the Fleet of Sacred Consecration, expecting to find and uncover the [[Excession|entrance to the Ark]].

While hovering over the city, the ''Solemn Penance'' deployed massive numbers of ground infantry and heavy equipment, including at least two {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}s, intending to drive the UNSC out of the area and begin its excavations. Soon, John-117 and dozens of Marines began an assault on the carrier's landing zone in [[Uplift Nature Reserve]].{{Ref/Level|ODST|Uplift Reserve}} Eventually, faced with the possibility of being overrun on the ground and intercepted by UNSC ships if it tried to escape to orbit, Regret ordered a retreat. The ''Solemn Penance'' activated its [[slipspace]] drive, making an emergency jump, with the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} following it into slipspace.{{Ref/Reuse|metro}} The shockwave from the Slipspace rupture severely damaged the city, releasing a potent [[electromagnetic pulse]] and partially damaging the city's urban infrastructure [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]], the [[Superintendent]]. The jump also foiled the attempt of an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] force to [[Operation: BUMRUSH|infiltrate the carrier from above]], scattering their [[drop pod]]s around the city and killing most of the troopers.{{Ref/ | While hovering over the city, the ''Solemn Penance'' deployed massive numbers of ground infantry and heavy equipment, including at least two {{Pattern|Protos|Scarab}}s, intending to drive the UNSC out of the area and begin its excavations.

*In ''Halo 2'', the ''Solemn Penance'', like all other assault carriers in the game, features structures at its aft end. In ''Halo 3: ODST'', the vessel has an additional cowling that covers these structures, as it uses the revised model from ''Halo 3'', which was later known as the ''Kerel''-pattern assault carrier in ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|Halo: Warfleet]]''. The ''Halo 2'' version assault carrier, later known as the ''Syfon''-class assault carrier, is seen, however, during the opening text crawl from ''Halo 3: ODST'' and ''[[Sadie's Story]]''. | *In ''Halo 2'', the ''Solemn Penance'', like all other assault carriers in the game, features structures at its aft end.
