'''''Seeker of Truth''''' (also referred to as the '''''Seeker'''''<ref name="LC3">''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]'', [[Halo Legendary Crate/Data Drops|Data Drop #3]]</ref>) is a {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}{{Ref/Reuse|h2a terminal13}} and the former [[flagship]] of the [[Covenant]] [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. The [[Supreme Commander]] of the fleet, [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, commanded the vessel during the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Reuse|succor}} | |||
== | ==History== | ||
The ''Seeker of Truth'' commanded by Thel 'Vadamee was present during the [[Fall of Reach]], where he led the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] and eventually [[glassing|glassed]] [[Reach|the planet]]. The remains of the fleet followed the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} to [[Installation 04]] when it fled the system.<ref name="succor">''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', [[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]</ref> | |||
== | After leaving the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] and discovering Installation 04, the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] and 'Vadamee met aboard ''Seeker of Truth''. They attempted to contact ''[[High Charity]]'' to ensure the interpretation of their scripture was accurate but were unable to do so.{{Ref/Reuse|LC3}}<ref name="flood">''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', [[Priority Broadcast Log/Eleventh Cycle, Third Unit]]</ref> When ''Pillar of Autumn'' exited slipspace in the [[Soell system|system]], ''Seeker of Truth'' and several other vessels launched [[dropship]]s and {{Pattern|Brhi Xur|Leech}} boarding craft in a failed attempt to capture the ship.<ref name="h2a terminal13">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', [[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminal 13]]</ref> During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the Prophet of Stewardship relocated to the [[Ruma-pattern light carrier|carrier]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}} Later in the battle, the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'' activated its emergency beacon. 'Vadamee sent a [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] detachment, led by [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee, to the vessel to retrieve the [[Minister of Etiology]] aboard the ''Succor'' and return him to the ''Seeker of Truth''. However, the crew of ''Infinite Succor'' and all Special Operation forces were killed by the [[Flood]], except for 'Vadumee who was heavily wounded.{{Ref/Reuse|succor}} When Rtas 'Vadumee returned to ''Seeker of Truth'', Thel ordered all ships in the fleet to invoke emergency quarantine response, priority alpha.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}} Later in the battle, ''[[Undiminished Entelechy]]'' became boarded and infested by the Flood. Thel 'Vadamee was forced to destroy the [[Ket-pattern battlecruiser|cruiser]] with ''Seeker of Truth'' to prevent the Flood from spreading.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-beta-late-than-never ''Halo Waypoint'': Cannon Fodder: Beta Late Than Never]</ref> | ||
[[Category:Covenant | Late in the battle of Installation 04, 'Vadamee would take a strike force and board the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', leaving ''Seeker of Truth''. When the Supreme Commander realized that the destruction of the installation was imminent, he had the entire fleet take cover behind the gas giant [[Threshold]].{{Ref/Reuse|flood}} Whether the ''Seeker of Truth'' survived the destruction of Installation 04 remains unknown. | ||
==Production notes== | |||
Though both the Definitive Edition of ''Halo: The Flood'' and ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals portray ''Seeker of Truth'' as 'Vadamee's command vessel, ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' (released years before the ''Halo Graphic Novel'') strongly implies that his flagship was instead ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. This is erroneously stated as fact on the Arbiter's [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/arbiter-thel-vadam Halo Waypoint biography]. | |||
While ''Seeker of Truth''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s class has been used to be not stated in canon and the novels referred to the ship simply as a Covenant flagship, in the ''Halo 2: Anniversary''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s terminals, the vessel is depicted in the likeness of a ''CAS''-class assault carrier from ''[[Halo 3]]'', which would be later known as the ''Kerel''-pattern assault carrier by ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|Halo: Warfleet]]''. While this may indicate that the ship was presumably an assault carrier, it is possible that ''Seeker of Truth'' might be a {{Pattern|Sh'wada|supercarrier}}, since the ''CSO''-class is virtually identical to the ''Kerel''-pattern ''CAS''-class in outward appearance though with the only difference being that it is colored darker (at least for the ''[[Long Night of Solace]]'' in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''). However, terminals clearly portrays the ship as a ''CAS'' based on its scale in comparison to its fellow battlecruisers and other ships.{{Ref/Reuse|h2a terminal13}} In ''[[The Heretic]]'' level in ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', the ''Seeker of Truth'' (the ship leading the Covenant fleet that was pursuing the ''Pillar of Autumn''), like all assault carriers on the game, was depicted as a ''Syfon''-pattern assault carrier, sharing the same design as the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' and ''[[Day of Jubilation]]''.<ref name=heretic>''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[The Heretic]]</ref> | |||
