*While aboard, Cortana successfully completed the first recorded in-atmosphere slipspace jump, a feat previously believed to be impossible due to the complexity of factoring in a planet's gravitational field. This information was later leaked to the Covenant fleet around Reach by the ship's AI. In-atmosphere slipspace jumps were subsequently performed by Covenant forces during the [[Battle of Earth]]. | *While aboard, Cortana successfully completed the first recorded in-atmosphere slipspace jump, a feat previously believed to be impossible due to the complexity of factoring in a planet's gravitational field.

*The epilogue of ''Halo: First Strike'' strongly implies that Thel 'Vadamee (referenced indirectly as "the incompetent who lost ''Ascendant Justice''") was brought before the High Council and stripped of his rank because he allowed the ship to fall into human hands. Despite this, the novel clearly identifies the ship as part of a scouting party separate from the Fleet of Particular Justice; this also ignores the immeasurably greater significance of his failure to save Halo. Though his command vessel was [[Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor|established]] as the assault carrier ''[[Seeker of Truth]]'' following the novel's release, 'Vadamee's [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/arbiter-thel-vadam Halo Waypoint biography] erroneously refers to ''Ascendant Justice'' as his flagship. | *The epilogue of ''Halo: First Strike'' strongly implies that Thel 'Vadamee (referenced indirectly as "the incompetent who lost ''Ascendant Justice''") was brought before the High Council and stripped of his rank because he allowed the ship to fall into human hands.

*During ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', [[Blue Team]] captures the {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' with relative ease, especially compared to the capture of ''Ascendant Justice''. Its stated that their actions were made far easier due to what was learned from the capture of ''Ascendant Justice'' and what Cortana learned from its systems. | |||
*During the [[Ur-Didact|Didact's]] [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]] in [[2557]], Cortana used the AI replication matrix from ''Ascendant Justice'' to split off the rampant elements of her personality construct array; this enabled her to operate in a quasi-normal state for a brief period. Much as she had done on ''Unyielding Hierophant'' years prior, she used these clones to infiltrate the [[Mantle's Approach|Didact's ship]], allowing the Master Chief to destroy it.<ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref> | *During the [[Ur-Didact|Didact's]] [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth]] in [[2557]], Cortana used the AI replication matrix from ''Ascendant Justice'' to split off the rampant elements of her personality construct array; this enabled her to operate in a quasi-normal state for a brief period.
