Ardent Prayer

The Ardent Prayer was a Covenant Corvette-class vessel in service during the Human-Covenant War, and was deployed during the Fall of Reach.

Overview
The ship was one of the main targets of Operation: UPPER CUT, and was boarded by multiple Sabre craft in an effort to plant a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine on board, which would be used to destroy a nearby Covenant supercarrier. During the mission, the ship was engaged by the UNSC frigate Savannah. The Savannah jammed the Ardent Prayer ' s communications, while the Sabres damaged her engines and destroyed her Seraph escort so she couldn't call for help. The Ardent Prayer destroyed the Savannah, but not before a boarding party had landed. The UNSC team eliminated the bridge crew and set the ship on a refueling track with the supercarrier Long Night of Solace. The operation succeeded, and Ardent Prayer, along with the supercarrier, was destroyed by the rigged Slipspace drive.
