The Infinite Succor was an Agricultural Support Ship of the Covenant, attached to the Fleet of Particular Justice. Its purpose was to provide food stores for the crews and soldiers of the Fleet. It contained a large hunting preserve full of wildlife for hunting and producing live meat. It is the primary setting for the first story in the Halo Graphic Novel.

Description

The Infinite Succor had no Elites in her crew - her compliment seems to have been comprised entirely of Grunts and Engineers (Elites mention Huragok blood), along with the numerous animals of the preserve. The commander of the ship was a single lesser Prophet- the Minister of Etiology. And it looked as if it was the one of the first time covenant met with floods. Even thought they called them parasites, the Minister Of Etiology told the spec-ops that they were an ancient parasite, and they are called Flood.

Involvement within the Great War

In 2552 (or the 9th Age of Reclamation), it was above Installation 04 when the Flood broke loose from the Halo's Flood Containment Facilities. They repaired the crashed Covenant Dropship Brilliant Gift, and several Combat Forms flew the ship into the Infinite Succor's bay. By the time the Prophet knew what was going on, they were out of control.

A Special Forces unit, led by Special Operations Commander Rtas 'Vadumee and Special Operations Officer Kusovai, was sent to take care of the Flood intruders. They originally thought the Flood were a Human threat but were quickly surprised by the Flood, which managed to assimilate a SpecOps Elite and take the Covenant codes from him. The flood-infected Kusovai managed to slice off Vadum's left mandible. They were in the process of using the bodies of the crew and preserve animals to make a Brain Form in the engineering room of the ship. They were also successful in infecting the Prophet and making him into a Prophet Form.

Eventually, Rtas 'Vadumee was forced to set the Infinite Succor on a Slipspace vector for the nearest star. He was able to survive, but the rest of his team, as well as the entire crew of the ship, are assumed to be lost when it was destroyed in the star.
