Truth and Reconciliation

The Truth and Reconciliation was a Covenant CCS-Class Battleship that led a sect of the Covenant Fleet over Installation 04. After being disabled by the Pillar of Autumn during the Human ship's descent onto the ring, the Truth and Reconciliation was brought down to the surface of the ring for repairs, and it remained suspended over a desert plateu and was used as a temporary base for Covenant forces on the ring.

Captain Jacob Keyes was brought here after he was captured by Covenant forces but was saved by Johnny, who boarded the ship with a group of Marines and decimated the Covenant occupation force tasked with guarding the ship. Zuka Zamamee and Yayap stopped briefly at the Truth and Reconciliation during their mission around the ring, during which they formed a plan to capture Johnny and promptly departed. After some patched repairs the Covenant attempted to take the ship away from the ring in order to prevent another Human attack but the engines failed and the ship only moved about 400 metres before stalling.

This problem was soon forgotten, however, when a vast army of Flood attacked the ship and attempted to use it to flee the ring. Johnny got back into the ship in an attempt to rescue Captain Keyes from the Flood, only to find that he had been entirely absorbed into a Flood brain and was beyond saving. Extensive damage to the ship left it almost unusable, but the Covenant were desperate to get it away from the ring to prevent the Flood from escaping. When a complement of ODSTs took over the ship from the Flood and tried to use it to escape, a lone Human Marine called Melissa Mckay realised the risk of allowing the contaminated ship to leave the Installation and severely damaged the ship's reactors, causing the vessel to crash-land onto the surface of the ring and damaging it beyond repair. It was then used as a base by the Flood until the ship's complete annihilation when the Installation was destroyed by Johnny and Cortana.
