This battlecruiser was captured by the Flood during the [[Sangheili]]'s quarantine of [[Installation 05]] and ''[[High Charity]]''. After absorbing the ship's crew and passengers to provide biomass, the Flood broke through the Sangheili blockade and set course for [[Earth]]. The ship arrived at Earth moments after the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s forces activated the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal at Voi|portal device]] between [[Voi]] and [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]]. The ship crash-landed just outside the town of Voi, releasing numerous Flood forms into the city. These forms immediately began to infect the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] defenders and the corpses of Covenant forces killed during [[Battle of Tsavo|the previous battle]]. Its infected crew and the newly-infected victims quickly spread, threatening to overrun the city of Voi and its surroundings. | This battlecruiser was captured by the Flood during the [[Sangheili]]'s quarantine of [[Installation 05]] and ''[[High Charity]]''.

In order to prevent further Flood contamination, [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] decided to destroy the ship by detonating its fusion reactors.

'Vadum ordered the humans to evacuate the area, while he dealt with the Flood. At the same time, John-117 learned that [[Cortana]] might be aboard the ship. Hoping to rescue her, the Chief, Thel 'Vadam, and a newly arrived squad of Special Operations Sangheili pushed forward and reached the crash site. While Thel and the Elites stood guard outside, the Chief entered the crashed ship through a breach in its hull. Inside, he found a device that later turned out to contain an important message from Cortana. Soon afterwards, the UNSC and Sangheili ground forces evacuated the area, while the ''[[Fleet of Retribution]]'' began to [[Glassing|glass]] the contaminated area, destroying the remains of the ship and halting the Flood threat.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level, ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> | ||
