In [[2530|November 2530]], [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[James Cutter]] decided to give his executive officer, [[Terrence Hood]], command of ''Roman Blue''.

===Battle of Arcadia=== | |||
However, Hood, in his pride and anger over the losses the [[Covenant]] were dealing humanity, ordered the crew to attack the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Radiant Perception]]''. The ''Roman Blue'' was ultimately outmatched and Hood ordered a retreat of the system, without recovering ''Spirit of Fire'''s log buoy. Consequently, Hood came to blame himself for the loss of the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''Issue #5''</ref> | However, Hood, in his pride and anger over the losses the [[Covenant]] were dealing humanity, ordered the crew to attack the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Radiant Perception]]''.

After the battle on Arcadia, Hood was reassigned to the frigate {{UNSCShip|Burlington}} in a fleet-support role, and the command of the ship passed to Captain [[William Webb]]. In March 2531, the ''Roman Blue'' was put under repairs for a month. | |||
===Chi Rho and end of service=== | |||
At some point between [[2536]] and [[2552]], the ''Roman Blue'' fought against the Covenant on or near [[Chi Rho]] on [[Ectanus 45 system]], but the cruiser was severely damaged by plasma weaponry and crashed onto the surface of Chi Rho's moon, [[Eiro]], approximately fifty-six kilometers away from the lone settlement on the dark side of the moon.<ref name="itf248">'''[[Halo: Fractures]]''', "[[Into the Fire]]", ''page 248''</ref> | |||
===Post-War=== | |||
In [[2557#January|January 2557]], [[Rion Forge]] and the crew of ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' traveled to Eiro to salvage the remains of ''Roman Blue'', though they were forced to retreat when they were attacked by an unknown opponent while searching the decrepit [[warship]].<ref name="itf251">'''Halo: Fractures''', "Into the Fire", ''pages 251-258''</ref><ref name="itf251"/> Inside the ship, Rion found a lead to the ''Spirit of Fire'' and his father, [[John Forge]]. | |||
