The Covenant CSO-class supercarrier Long Night of Solace, the flagship of the Fleet of Valiant Prudence, c. 2552.
SUMMARY
The Battle of Beta Eridani was a Covenant assault on UNSC forces in the Beta Eridani system, shortly before the summer in 2552. The Covenant Fleet of Valiant Prudence was in search of Forerunner artifacts in the system, and stumbled upon the Beta Eridani Naval Training Range. Though there was a sizable force stationed there, all ships were crewed by cadets, and were ordered to flee the system. Any remaining forces were destroyed by the Covenant fleet.
The Luminary found in the Beta Eridani system ultimately pointed the fleet to the Epsilon Eridani system, home of the colony worlds Tribute and Reach.
