The '''''Ascendant Justice''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Flagship]], one of the seven ships sent to [[Installation 04]] shortly after its' destruction. It was the ship that MCPO [[John-117]] and the other survivors of Installation 04 had taken over. | The '''''Ascendant Justice''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Flagship]], one of the seven ships sent to [[Installation 04]] shortly after its' destruction.

The ship received assistance from remaining [[Eridanus Rebels]] in a small asteroid colony, who provided personnel and repairs for the ships weaponry, before being discovered by the Covenant. Though the ''Ascendant Justice'' engaged the initial Covenant forces in ship-to-ship battle, reinforcements arrived en masse, forcing it to abandon the colony to the Covenant. | The ship received assistance from remaining [[Eridanus Rebels]] in a small asteroid colony, who provided personnel and repairs for the ships weaponry, before being discovered by the Covenant.

Vice Admiral Whitcomb initiated [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]]. The [[UNSC]]-commandeered ''Ascendant Justice'' then inserted John and his Spartans near the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' in a slightly-modified [[Spirit]] dropship, and started a self-destruct sequence in one of the station's reactor rooms. The Spartans managed to escape from the station and travel to the far side of a near moon where the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} was waiting for them. Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb and Lieutenant Elias Haverson had detached the ''Ascendant Justice'' from the ''Gettysburg'' and taken it in a slingshot orbit around the moon.

Vice Admiral Whitcomb pretended to have the [[Forerunner]] crystal (by using a hologram) and challenged the Covenant to come and claim it (the Covenant did not want to fire on the ''Ascendant Justice'' because the crystal was supposedly on it). He used the momentum from their slingshot orbit to crash into the station even after the Covenant had cut the ship's engines off with laser fire. Whitcomb then ordered Spartan-117 to see what was left of the Covenant and then "''hightail the Intel back to [[Earth]].''" The last few seconds of visual and audio record from the Ascendant Justice showed the door crashing to the ground and the Admiral opening fire with an SMG. The reactors on the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]'' then overloaded and exploded, destroying the ''Ascendant Justice'' and over four hundred enemy vessels. Only a few Covenant ships survived the catastrophe. Both Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb and [[Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]] are listed as [[KIA|Killed in Action]]. | ||
The ''Ascendant Justice'''s Slipspace drive allowed the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} to reach Earth and warn the UNSC leadership of the Covenant's plans to reach Earth. It is not currently known what has become of the ''Ascendant Justice''s Slipspace drive, though it is assumed that it was studied by UNSC technicians. | The ''Ascendant Justice'''s Slipspace drive allowed the {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} to reach Earth and warn the UNSC leadership of the Covenant's plans to reach Earth.
