This is so awesome.

Query Answer: Human naval and [frumentarii] records indicate [Covenant] [destroyer] Shadow of Intent as a priority intelligence target. Records indicate repair and refit of vessel at mobile shipyard in [records inaccessible] system [December 30, 2552]. Deployed to Erde-Tyrene [February 29 - March 3, 2553] for diplomatic mission. No record of vessel and associated support vessels from [March 6, 2553 - August 24, 2553] - [frumentarii] [signals analysis] infers deployment to [provinces] to [search and assess] after return of [Covenant] long-range exploratory fleets. Deployed in internecine conflicts in [CE-80-9012] [ref: Urs] system and [topologically proximate] transit points from [May 24, 2553 - April 15, 2554]. Rendered [combat ineffective] during fleet action against [Covenant] [faction] forces [ref: Jul 'Mdama] in [records inaccessible] system on [April 22, 2554]. No record of vessel from [April 22, 2554 - November 6, 2556] - Human naval [chatter] reference vessel several times in [onion] encrypted communications not accessible to full [frumentarii] analysis - inferred activity against [servus ferrox] fleet elements in [macto cognatus] core [sphere]. Vessel appeared with previously unidentified logistical support craft [November 6, 2556] in [Urs] system to pacify [faction] forces. Vessel left [Urs] system [February 2, 2557] on diplomatic mission to [Covenant] [sphere]. Participated in [exercitatio] with Human naval elements [May 6, 2557 - June 1, 2557] against [latrones] in mixed zone of control [ref: Joint Occupation Zone] - [frumentarii] threat dynamic analysis noted significant improvement in the vessels [dynamic capabilities] and alterations to [nanolaminate] hull plating. Analysis of detritus collected after [exercitatio] purged from [frumentarii] low-echelon secure networks and forwarded to priority [cores]. Vessel dispatched with support fleet [June 1, 2557 - March 3, 2558] to protect [macto cognatus] core [sphere]. Recent [frumentarii] records [naufragum] of three [speculatoria navigia] tasked to monitor vessel's fleet activities. Losses not reported to Human naval authorities.

 

 

Lol looks like Thel got tired of ONI's bullshit and vaped the three Prowlers tailing his flagship.

 

 

 

Also how High Charity got to the Ark is finally explained.

There's a portal on Mars as well...

^If you don't wanna surf the forums this dude has collected them all in these videos.

 

Huh, seems like Infinity and the CAS are mere destroyers in Forerunner terms.

Also...not to say I told you so, but Infinity and Shadow of Intent being classified as destroyers just adds to my argument.

Its from the point of view of a forerunner, so ship classifications are different. Still happens today. The Dutch 7 province class frigate is internationally considered a destroyer, but is considered a frigate by the royal dutch navy, and the T45 class destroyer is considered a cruiser by some navies.

Still means that they are likely similar in purpose and armament.

Interesting note: Glasslands is bullshit, even in 2552 the Sangheili were fully capable of repairing and refitting their own vessels.  Also interesting that the Covies had significant expeditionary fleets.  Potential returning armada ability?

Would be interesting, would also be interesting to see how many colonies the Covenant had/ how big their fleet was.

I hate these types of things, where the PR guy behind the account contradicts established novel canon (despite it being shit coughglasslands).

I hate when an author decides to override canon to make an intelligent race who had an interstellar empire long before the Covenant have no skills sans for combat.  I mean there are billions of Sangheili its impossible for all of them to be professional soldiers in the Covenant.  Setting things straight is a good thing imo.

Stop bitching and appreciate that we're getting something. Lore needed some cleaning up anyhow.
