The Starchaser Incident was a minor engagement of the Human-Covenant War in 2527. A Covenant missionary ship engaged a human insurrectionist freighter on the edge of human space, thoroughly wrecking the vessel and killing its crew. When the missionary ship moved to board the crippled freighter, the prowler UNSC Silent Shade dropped its cloak and attacked; the missionary ship was destroyed and all personnel aboard were killed. The prowler retrieved wreckage from the Covenant vessel and recovered the navigation computer from the wrecked freighter following the skirmish.
