The '''''Unyielding Hierophant''''', or to Sergeant Johnson known humorously as "uneven elephant", was a [[Covenant]] command-and-control centre and refit-battle station that was capable of supporting a fleet of over 500<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' ~~Page~~ 297</ref> capital ships. It was capable of slipspace jumps <ref>[[Halo: First Strike]] page 198</ref> and was over 10 kilometers (6.3 miles) in circumference. This type of vessel possesses at least two fusion reactor cores for power.

At the time of its destruction it was located in the [[Tau Ceti]] system. The system was conquered by Covenant forces in [[2530]] and was therefore used as a rendezvous point for Covenant forces before they prepared to launch their impending attack on [[Earth]]. When the [[UNSC]] discovered this, the crew of the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]-[[Gettysburg]]'' decided to initiate a first strike against the Covenant to postpone an inevitable Covenant assault against Earth. A team of [[SPARTAN-II]]s, among them [[John-117]], [[Grace-093]], [[Fred-104]], [[Linda-058]] and [[William-043]] commandeered a Covenant dropship, after they had reinforced the armor of the dropship with [[Titanium-A]] armor, lead, and carbon molybdenum steel I-beams so the ship could withstand the transition from Slipspace to normal space. The team departed and made the transition from [[Slipspace]] to normal space in one piece.

The [[Spartan-II]]s infiltrated the station, using the [[Covenant]]'s own tugs to tow them aboard, finding themselves within a hangar capable of docking hundreds of single-ships.<ref>''Halo: First Strike'', page 304</ref> Avoiding the [[Covenant]] presence, the Spartans proceeded inward, with a copy of [[Cortana]] infiltrating the Station's network to distract and hinder the Covenant's coordination. Managing to cross an open plaza with only the loss of [[Grace-093]], who was killed by a Brute with a [[Brute Shot]], Blue team neutralized the [[Brute]] guards of a temple and proceeded to the 512 tera-watt reactors, with the copied Cortana setting them to overload, which would destroy the station and nearby fleet.<ref>''Halo: First Strike'', pages 316/317</ref>

The [[Spartans]] attempted to flee using captured [[Banshee]]s, now taking heavy fire from the [[Covenant]] forces aware of their presence. After destroying one of the plaza's windows, they managed to escape, hijacking a floating Covenant dropship and making their way to the evacuation point for the ''Ascendant Justice-Gettysburg.'' The ''Ascendant Justice'', separated from the ''Gettysburg'', drew the Covenant's attention to the station with a holographic ruse, keeping them within the blast radius; the detonation destroyed virtually all of the five-hundred strong fleet, the largest space victory ever accomplished by the [[UNSC]].
