==Operational history==
'''''Long Night of Solace''''' was a [[Covenant]] {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} and the [[flagship]] of the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]], commanded by [[Supreme Commander]] [[Rho 'Barutamee]].<ref name="essential"/> ''Long Night of Solace'' and its fleet inadvertently served as an advance invasion force on the planet [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in the [[2552|summer of 2552]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Legendary Edition commentary''</ref> The supercarrier was destroyed by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel over Reach during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]].<ref name="LNoS"/>
 
==History==
===Fall of Reach===
On or prior to [[2552#July|July 23, 2552]], the fleet, [[Active camouflage|cloaked]] by ''Long Night of Solace'', made landfall on Reach.<ref name="essential"/> The fleet then deployed a network of [[Covenant Spire|teleportation spires]] and [[stealth pylon]]s to covertly land an advance ground force. ''Long Night of Solace'' served as the [[flagship]] for the advance force, which was comprised of the supercarrier and at least five {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}}s.

On [[2552#August|August 12]], the UNSC launched an [[Battle at Szurdok Ridge|attack]] on the Covenant base in [[Viery Territory|Viery]]. After [[Spire One]] was destroyed, the ''Solace'' decloaked and engaged the UNSC. Immediately after its position was compromised, ''Long Night of Solace'' destroyed the {{UNSCShip|Grafton}} and lay waste to several other UNSC deployments. It then retreated to Covenant-held space in orbit above the planet.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Tip of the Spear]]''</ref>

During Operation: UPPER CUT, an operation designed to destroy the ship, UNSC [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] teams boarded the Covenant corvette ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', which was on a refueling run with the supercarrier, and transported a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] onto the corvette. During the battle aboard the ship, the detonation controls of the improvised bomb were damaged, forcing [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Jorge-052]] to sacrifice himself by activating the drive manually. The unrestricted [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] rift teleported the middle half of the supercarrier's hull into slipspace, destroying ''Long Night of Solace''. The remains of ''Long Night of Solace'' then crashed into a mountain range on the surface of Reach as a larger Covenant fleet jumped out of slipspace over the planet.<ref name="LNoS"/><ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''</ref>

On August 27, [[Vice Admiral]] [[Hieronymus Michael Stanforth|Hieronymus Stanforth]] stated that ''Long Night of Solace'' would have been a prime candidate for use in [[Operation: RED FLAG]]. However, with the vessel destroyed, the Navy was forced to wait to enact the operation until the Covenant arrived in force days later.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/ONI/577839090903298928/DDR-A340024-1115-08-27-52.pdf '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Data Drop 5'']</ref>
