The '''''Unrelenting''''' was a [[Covenant]] vessel that attacked [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces near the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] at [[Chi Ceti IV]] on [[2525#November|November 27, 2525]].<ref name="Wars">''[[Halo Wars]] timeline'' </ref>

==Description==

Only a third the size of the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}}, the ship appeared to be crewed exclusively by [[Kig-Yar]]. During the Spartans' exploration of the ship, no personnel of other species - [[Sangheili]], for instance - were called in to halt the alien attack. This indicates the ship may have been an [[missionary ship|artifact-retrieval vessel]] sent out by the [[Ministry of Tranquility]] to search for holy relics. Despite its small size, the ship was capable of enduring significant amounts of punishment from the UNSC ''Commonwealth'' and nearly bested the human ship in combat.

In the ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'' comic adaptation and ''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series]]'', ''Unrelenting'' is depicted as a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}. This is a departure from the novel, which describes the ship as being a sleek ovoid a third the size of the ''Commonwealth'', with a single lateral line running its length.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 105''</ref> [[Frank O'Connor]] commented that Covenant ships in the animated series were portrayed differently from the novel for the purposes of the adaptation, leaving the ship's canonical class ambiguous.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-reaching-out '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Reaching Out'']</ref> In ''[[Halo: Silent Storm]]'', [[Vice Admiral]] [[Michael Stanforth]] stated that the ''Unrelenting'' was "frigate-size," but did not go so far as to actually call it a [[Covenant frigate]].
