The '''''Unrelenting''''' was a [[Covenant]] vessel that attacked [[UNSC]] forces on the 27th November [[2525]] near the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] at [[Chi Ceti IV]].<ref name="Wars">''[[Halo Wars]] timeline'' </ref>
==Description==
Only around or over a third the size of the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}},{{Ref/Novel|FOR|Chapter=12}}{{Ref/Note|In ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' Chapter 12, the ''Unrelenting'' is described as one-third the length of the ''Paris''-class frigate UNSC ''Commonwealth'', which measures 535.05 metres in length, while a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}, the class that the ship is determined to be, measures typically 300 meters in length.}} the ship appeared to be crewed exclusively by [[Kig-Yar]]. During the Spartans' exploration of the ship, no personnel of other species - [[Sangheili]], for instance - were called in to halt the alien attack. This indicates the ship may have been an [[missionary ship|artifact-retrieval vessel]] sent out by the [[Ministry of Tranquility]] to search for holy relics. Despite its small size, the ship was capable of enduring significant amounts of punishment from the UNSC ''Commonwealth'' and nearly bested the human ship in combat.


==Background==
==Background==
The ''Unrelenting'' launched an attack on the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} and was able to severely damage her. The ''Commonwealth'' likewise, was able to do enough damage to the ''Unrelenting'' for SPARTANs to be able to board it. During combat it was boarded by three [[SPARTAN-II]]s, [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Samuel-034]], whom all had infiltrated the ship by slipping in a hole the ''Commonwealth's'' [[MAC]] had caused.
[[File:Unrelenting and Commonwealth damaged.png|left|240px|thumb|The ''Unrelenting'' after sustaining damage by the ''Commonwealth''.]]
As the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} approached the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]], the ''Unrelenting'' launched an attack on the [[Paris-class heavy frigate|UNSC frigate]] and was able to severely damage her with pulse lasers and plasma cannons. The ''Commonwealth'' retaliated with [[Archer missile]]s, which proved ineffective, and a single [[MAC]] slug, which temporarily knocked out the vessel's shields and dealt enough damage to the ''Unrelenting'' for Spartans to be able to board it. During combat it was boarded by three [[Spartan-II]]s, [[John-117]], [[Kelly-087]] and [[Samuel-034]], all of whom had infiltrated the ship by slipping into a hole the ''Commonwealth's'' [[MAC]] had created.


The ''Unrelenting'' was destroyed when the three SPARTANs fought their way to the ship's reactor and placed [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile]]s nearby, detonating them when the SPARTANs were clear of the ship. Unfortunately, Samuel's [[MJOLNIR]] suit had been breached when it was damaged during a firefight, and he was unable to evacuate the ship. He instead stayed aboard and activated the missiles.

He instead stayed aboard and activated the missiles.


The SPARTANs captured an [[Kig-yar Point Defence Gauntlet|energy gauntlet]] at one point while on the ship.

The crew of the ''Unrelenting'' was later accused of having a ''"lack of faith"'' by the [[Prophet of Regret]] for failing to repel the Spartan soldiers and destroy the human ship.{{Ref/Reuse|Wars}}


The crew of the ''Unrelenting'' was later accused of having a ''"lack of faith"'' by the [[Prophet of Regret]] for not repelling the Spartan soldiers and destroying the human ship.<ref name="Wars"/>
By March of [[2526]], the Covenant remained unaware of exactly what had befallen the ''Unrelenting''. A dispatch sent to the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]] during a lull in the battle expressed the confidence of the [[Shipmaster]] that after a fierce initial engagement, the vessel would prove victorious and then seek repairs at [[Zhoist]]. However, the ''Unrelenting'' never arrived and its fate was the subject of much speculation amongst [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]]'s staff officers. As a result, when the [[United Rebel Front]] offered information on the destruction of the ''Unrelenting'' alongside that of the ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', Nizat's interest was drawn.<ref name="ss">''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', p. 132-133</ref>


It should also be noted, that it appeared to have a crew of only [[Kig-yar]]. This is taken from the SPARTANs' exploration of the ship, and the fact that no other species - [[Sangheili]], for instance - were called to halt the alien attack. Small vessels crewed by Kig-yar and Unggoy are common in the Covenant fleet as artifact-retrieval vessels sent out to scout for holy relics. Continuing, the ship was described as being only a third the size of the {{UNSCship|Commonwealth}}, leading to the possibility that it was a Kig-yar pirate ship.
==Production notes==
{{Linkbox|gallery=yes}}
In the ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' comic adaptation and ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'', ''Unrelenting'' is depicted as a {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. This is a departure from the novel, which describes the ship as being a sleek ovoid a third the size of the ''Commonwealth'', with a single lateral line running its length.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 105''</ref> [[Frank O'Connor]] commented that Covenant ships in the animated series were portrayed differently from the novel for the purposes of the adaptation, leaving the ship's canonical class ambiguous.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-reaching-out '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Reaching Out'']</ref> In ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', [[Vice Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] stated that the ''Unrelenting'' was "frigate-size," but did not go so far as to actually call it a [[Covenant frigate]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]''', ''page 60''</ref> In a post made by [[Stephen Loftus]] on [[Talk:Unrelenting|this article's talk page]], he clarified that internally the ship was determined to be a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Loftus}}
 
In the ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'', ''Unrelenting'' is crewed by [[Sangheili]], [[Kig-Yar]], and [[Unggoy]] while in the ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' comic adaptation and the [[Halo: The Fall of Reach|novel]], the ship is only crewed by [[Kig-Yar]]. ''[[Halo: Collateral Damage]]'' [[Halo: Collateral Damage Issue 1|Issue 1]] later seemingly showed the ship being only crewed with Kig-Yar as no Sangheili or Unggoy were shown aboard the ship.
