"After almost a full 15 years of war with the Covenant we have seen the atrocities committed, colonies glassed, men lost, sacrifices made by sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. I can tell you this war is far from over but I ensure you it will be won one way or another and I intend to see it won dead or alive on THIS ship" -Rear Admiral Marcus Santiago, At commissioning of UNSC Khorunzhiy
