==History==
On or prior to [[2552#July|July 23, 2552]], the fleet, [[Active camouflage|cloaked]] by ''Long Night of Solace'', made landfall on Reach.{{Ref/Reuse|essential}} The fleet then deployed a network of [[deployment spire]]s 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 {{Pattern|Ceudar|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 laid 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.  Simultaneously, [[Operation: LEFT JAB]] was initiated to distract the carrier's escort fleet.<ref>''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]'', [[Scenario Six: Left Jab]]</ref>

When writing ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', author [[Troy Denning]] envisioned the ''[[Hammer of Faith]]'' as a {{Class|CSO|supercarrier}} and a [[Wikipedia:Sister ship|sister ship]] to the ''Long Night of Solace''. However, ultimately, Denning chose not to specify the ship's class in the text, deferring to [[343 Industries]] to make the final canonical decision.{{Ref|[https://twitter.com/TDenningauthor/status/1081251542357942272 ''Twitter'', Troy Denning:] "The CSO pic in Halopedia is what I was working from when I described it, and in mind, it was intended to be a sister ship to LNoF. But that's NOT official canon -- that decision is (rightly) for 343 to make."}} The ship's class has not been stated in canon as of yet.
