Clarity of Faith

The Clarity of Faith was a Covenant Assault Carrier registered to High Charity. It was commanded by Shipmaster Thon 'Talamee in 2552, with his brother Reff 'Talamee as second in command.

History
Around the same time as the UNSC was making final preparations for Operation: BLOWBACK, the Clarity of Faith was three cycles behind schedule to renzedvous with a supply convoy and escort it through Sub-Sector 35. Before it jumped, the Clarity of Faith intercepted a transmission of unknown origin, containing a "Pi-constant baseline" not used by the Covenant or the humans. Reff believed the message to be a sign from the Forerunners, possibly pointing to "sacred" artifacts, and wanted to examine it further. Thon, however, ignored it, stating that "[he] doesn't run the ship on religious theories" and ordered the ship's courseman to jump into Slipstream Space. As they did, the ship hit by energy bombardment from Line Installation 1-4 and dropped out of Slipspace. It was caught in the gravity of an unnamed Moon, and crashed on its surface. Only a handful of the crew survived, and moved out of the wreckage to explore the moon's surface.

Trivia

 * Oddly enough, the Clarity of Faith appears to lack an Energy Projector under its bow.
