The Seeker of Truth was a CAS-class assault carrier and the flagship of the Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice. The Supreme Commander of the fleet, Thel 'Vadamee, commandeered the flagship during the final years of the Human-Covenant War.[1]
History
Thel 'Vadamee commanded the Seeker of Truth during the Fall of Reach, where he led the Fleet of Particular Justice and eventually glassed the planet. The remains of the fleet followed the UNSC Pillar of Autumn to Installation 04 when it fled the system.[1]
After leaving the Epsilon Eridani system and discovering Installation 04, the Prophet of Stewardship and 'Vadamee met aboard the Seeker of Truth. They attempted to contact High Charity to ensure the interpretation of their scripture was accurate, but are unable to do so.[2] When Pillar of Autumn exited slipspace in the system, Seeker of Truth and several other vessels launched dropships and Type-28 boarding crafts in a failed attempt to capture the ship.[3] During the Battle of Installation 04, the Prophet of Stewardship relocated to the CSO-class supercarrier Ascendant Justice.[2] Later in the battle, the Infinite Succor activated its emergency beacon. 'Vadamee sent a Special Operations detachment, led by Rtas 'Vadumee, to the vessel to retrieve the Minister of Etiology aboard the Succor and return him to the Seeker of Truth. However, the crew of the Infinite Succor and all Special Operation forces were killed by the Flood, except for 'Vadumee who was heavily wounded.[1] When Rtas 'Vadumee returned to Seeker of Truth, Thel ordered for all ships in the fleet to invoke emergency quarantine response, priority alpha.[2]
When Thel realized that the destruction of the installation was imminent, 'Vadamee had the Seeker of Truth, and the rest of the ships in the fleet, take cover behind the gas giant Threshold.[2] After the destruction of Installation 04, Seeker of Truth left the system and was called to High Charity. When the carrier arrived at High Charity, Thel 'Vadamee left the ship and took a Type-52 Phantom to the interior of High Charity.[3] Due to his failure of safeguarding Installation 04, 'Vadamee was called before the High Council and stripped of his rank and ability to command the ship.[4]
