THS Haven was a Emperor-class heavy cruiser in the Navy of Palaven and Citadel Defense Fleet. The six hundred and eighteenth ship of her class to be built, the Haven was originally assigned to the Third Fleet under Prefect Flavipius Barbadas, where it served with the Third Fleet for nearly the entirety of its career until it was reassigned to the Citadel Defense Fleet, where it spent the remainder of its career. The Haven spent most of its time in the CDF 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 Haven took part in the Battle of the Citadel when a massive geth heretic fleet, spearheaded by the Reaper Sovereign, launched a surprise attack on the Citadel with the aim of taking it. The Haven 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 in the chaos of the CDF's collapsing left flank, the Haven was forced to pull back, with many CDF ships being caught surrounded and destroyed. The Haven covered the retreat as best it could, but was eventually swarmed and overwhelmed by the momentum of the geth attack, with the ship being lost with all hands. The sacrifice of the Haven and its crew is noted on the Heroes of the Citadel monument, along with the other CDF ships destroyed protecting the Citadel.
