Harbinger of Fates

"I have angered a god and condemned my men to death. May she have mercy upon their souls."

- Fleet Master Turun 'Maldam

The was a colossal Praetorian-class Fortress Ship, used by the The Traveller during the latter portions of the Forerunner-Flood war. At one hundred kilometres from end to end, The Harbinger of Fates, like other Praetorian-class ships, were one of the largest combat vessels ever created by the Warrior-Servants. While it served valiantly in a number of notable battles, such as the battle for the Capital, it was heavily crippled a few hours prior to the detonation of the Sword Installations, buying precious time for the IsoDidact to complete his task. Hit by several Flood-controlled warships exiting slipspace meters from the hull, it was rendered near crippled and most of the crew killed during impact or in an effort to repel borders. The ship was abandoned by all by the Traveller, who stayed with a cadre of Promethean Knights under her control, fending off the borders to prevent them seizing the ship and the vital data hidden within its central Ancilla. Minutes before the Halo event, the Traveller was put into stasis and the remaining Promethean Knights pilot the ship to its birth for the next few millennia, the Tharsis Installation. Left in stasis to slowly heal her mortal wounds, the Traveller's sleep was disrupted by Storm Covenant Excavation teams. The Harbinger of Fates was roused to battle, exterminating a Storm Covenant fleet, including one of the precious few CSO-Supercarriers in existence.
