Kwassass

Kwassass was a Covenant Grunt stationed on the Covenant supercarrier Sublime Transcendence in 2552. He was in charge of the maintenance on Subdeck K.

After The Battle of Reach, the Sublime Transcendence extracted mining equipment from Reach after the Covenant tried to excavate CASTLE Base. The equipment was then put into Subdeck K; it became Kwassass' responsibility to repair and refit it.

Several months later, as the ship was over Joyous Exultation with the rest of the Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose, Kwassass discovered a NOVA bomb that had been taken aboard along with the rest of the equipment by the Engineers for study. The control panel for it had become detached, but he managed to activate a recording of a threat from Admiral Whitcomb without any harm to the vessel or the fleet. Before he managed to understand Whitcomb's message, the Engineers on the deck took the panel and forcibly reattached it, activating the Nova bomb and destroying the Sublime Transcendence and the rest of the fleet at Joyous Exultation.
