UNSC Eternal

The Eternal is a UNSC Navy Jupiter-class supercarrier.
== History ==
=== Battle of Ealen IV ===
On March 3, 2558 Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood pulled the Eternal away from the pursuit of Jul 'Mdama and assigned the ship to escort Arbiter Thel 'Vadam during negotiations with the jiralhanae Chieftain Lydus on Ealen IV. On March 5, during the negotiations, Covenant forces led by Shipmaster Vata 'Gajat attacked the delegates. The UNSC forces on the planet were unable to contact the Eternal due to the presence of a jammer. During the battle, Commander Theodore Wyatt and ODST Corporal Naiya Ray were able to destroy the jammer and contact Eternal. As Captain Joshua Haywood reestablished communications, Wyatt informed him that the sangheili and jiralhanae ships were about to attack each other. However, Haywood was able to placate the crisis and the fleets eventually rallied with Eternal, forcing the Covenant fleet to retreat. The ambassadors successfully escaped the planet thanks to the sacrifices of Fireteam Bailey and ODST Jason Kreuger, which were later commemorated in a memorial service held aboard Eternal.
