THS Enlightened was a Century-class light cruiser in the Navy of Palaven and Citadel Defense Fleet. The two hundred and sixty-fifth ship of her class to be built, the Enlightened was originally assigned to the Ninth Fleet under Prefect Julitus Adjutus, serving with the Ninth Fleet for fifty years before being reassigned to the Citadel Defense Fleet, where it would spend the rest of its career. The Enlightened spent most of its time in the CDF either patrolling the Widow system, enforcing customs regulations, monitoring traffic and/or running blockade against criminal ships attempting to escape C-Sec. On 19 July 2183 CE, the Enlightened took part in the Battle of the Citadel when a massive geth fleet, spearheaded by the Reaper Sovereign, launched a surprise attack on the Citadel with the aim of taking it. The Enlightened managed to survive the initial attack, and was part of a large contingent of the CDF's left flank that moved to counterattack the geth fleet directly, with the aim of keeping them away from the Citadel. The geth offensive proved too strong however, and the Enlightened was one of many ships in the vanguard that was quickly surrounded by geth ships and rapidly torn apart by overlapping fields of fire. The sacrifice of the Enlightened and its crew are noted on the Heroes of the Citadel monument, along with the other CDF ships destroyed protecting the Citadel.
