The Unrelenting was the Covenant ship (likely a Covenant Light Cruiser) that attacked UNSC forces on the 27th November 2525 near the Damascus Testing Facility at Chi Ceti IV.[1]
[edit] Background
The Unrelenting launched an attack on the UNSC Commonwealth and was able to severely damage her. The Commonwealth likewise, was able to do enough damage to the Unrelenting for SPARTANs to be able to board it. During combat it was boarded by three SPARTAN-IIs, John-117, Kelly-087 and Samuel-034, whom all had infiltrated the ship by slipping in a hole the Commonwealth's MAC had caused.
The Unrelenting was destroyed when the three SPARTANs fought their way to the ship's reactor and placed ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missiles nearby, detonating them when the SPARTANs were clear of the ship. Unfortunately, Samuel's MJOLNIR suit had been breached when it was damaged during a firefight, and he was unable to evacuate the ship. He instead stayed aboard and activated the missiles.
The SPARTANs captured an energy gauntlet at one point while on the ship.
The crew of the Unrelenting was later accused of having a "lack of faith" by the Prophet of Regret for not repelling the Spartan soldiers and destroying the human ship.[1]
It should also be noted, that it appeared to have a crew of only Kig-yar. This is taken from the SPARTANs' exploration of the ship, and the fact that no other species - Sangheili, for instance - were called to halt the alien attack.
