'''''Retribution's Thunder''''' was a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Destroyer|Destroyer]].
'''''Retribution's Thunder''''' was a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]] under the command of [[Thel 'Vadamee]] in service during the [[Human-Covenant War]].


==Summary==
==History==
It was the first vessel under the command of [[Thel 'Vadamee]] who later became the [[Arbiter (Title)|Arbiter]]. It attacked the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Destroyer|Destroyer]] ''[[UNSC Do You Feel Lucky?|Do You Feel Lucky?]]'' near [[Charybdis IX]].
===Battle of Charybdis IX===
{{Main|Battle of Charybdis IX}}
''Retribution's Thunder'' was the first vessel under the command of Thel 'Vadamee, which he received directly from the [[Prophet of Regret]]. The destroyer was present at the [[Battle of Charybdis IX]] in [[2535]], where it engaged it [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]]s over the [[human]] colony [[Charybdis IX]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 136''</ref> 


''Retribution's Thunder'' was self-destructed upon boarding by Jackal forces from ''[[A Psalm Every Day]]''. Many of the crew fled the ship after Thel made a rhetorical statement in which he told them that now was the time to leave to weed out any dishonorable [[Elites]] and grunts. Thel and about 3 members of his bridge crew survived, however, and were captured by Jackal forces.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'''</ref>
Most of the UNSC ships were destroyed nearly instantly by the ''Thunder'''s accompanying fleet. ''Retribution's Thunder'' attacked and disabled the destroyer {{UNSCShip|Do You Feel Lucky?}} in an attempt to capture navigation data from the latter vessel. A [[Sangheili]] boarding team, lead by [[Thel 'Vadamee]], entered the ship to retrieve the data, only to find that the humans had already destroyed it.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 141''</ref> With all human ships destroyed, the Covenant proceeded to glass the planet as the [[Insurrectionist]]s on the planet vainly attempted to resist.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 146''</ref>
It was commissioned under the Prophet of Regret directly to Thel Vadamee.
 
===Battle of the Rubble===
{{Main|Battle of the Rubble}}
''Retribution's Thunder'' was then assigned by the Prophet of Regret to hunt down a group of allegedly heretical [[Kig-Yar]] who were trading with the [[human]] insurgents over the planet [[Hesiod]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 155''</ref>
 
Later the ''Retribution's Thunder'' and the accompanying [[Kig-Yar raider|raider]] ''[[A Psalm Every Day]]'' arrived in the [[23 Librae]] system to search for the Kig-Yar "rebels". Upon finding the source of the "heresy" at [[the Rubble]], the crew of ''Retribution's Thunder'' were betrayed by the [[Jiralhanae]] and Kig-Yar aboard the Kig-Yar raider vessel. ''Retribution's Thunder'' was then self-destructed upon boarding by Kig-Yar forces to prevent its capture.  
 
Many of the crew fled the ship after 'Vadamee rhetorically asked the crew if anyone wished to leave in order to weed out any dishonorable [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]]. Most of ''Retribution's Thunder'''s crew perished while retreating or while fighting the boarders. However, 'Vadamee and his four-member Sangheili retinue - [[Jora 'Konaree]], [[Saal]], [[Zhar (Sangheili)|Zhar]], and [[Veer]] - survived and were captured by Kig-Yar forces.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 161''</ref>
