In [[2558#March|March 2558]] the freighter, ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', was carrying several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s that were previously attached to the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> The ''Pilgrims Pride'' launched a surprise attack on the UNSC ''[[Infinity]]'' and attempted to self-destruct inside the ''Infinity'''s bay. The Spartans managed to eject the freighter out of the bay. They also saved the ''Pilgrims Pride'' from total destruction by removing its exploding core. After recovering the remains of the attacking Vultures and Sparrowhawks, the crew used the ID numbers on the hulls to identify the ships as belonging to the ''Spirit of Fire''. Confusing matters, the crew discovered that ''Pilgrims Pride'' had been constructed only five years earlier. While Commander Palmer speculated that the assault craft may have been stolen from the ''Spirit of Fire'' before the ship was lost, Roland pointed out that the assault craft were in fairly good condition for their age. Roland also determined that the freighter itself had been launched from [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant deep inside Jiralhanae-controlled space. <ref>'''Halo: Escalation''' - ''Issue #5''</ref> | In [[2558#March|March 2558]] the freighter, ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', was carrying several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s that were previously attached to the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> The ''Pilgrims Pride'' launched a surprise attack on the UNSC ''[[Infinity]]'' and attempted to self-destruct inside the ''Infinity'''s bay.

Despite the diplomatic risks, Lord Hood, who felt guilty over his role in the ''Spirit of Fire'''s disappearance, ordered the ''Infinity'' to investigate. When they arrived at the coordinates, they found not the ''Spirit'' but [[Shipmaster]] [[Vata 'Gajat]]'s ship, which was docked to a massive glassing cannon. | Despite the diplomatic risks, Lord Hood, who felt guilty over his role in the ''Spirit of Fire'''s disappearance, ordered the ''Infinity'' to investigate.
