THS Miracle was a Emperor-class heavy cruiser in the Navy of Palaven and Citadel Defense Fleet. The hundred and fifty-third ship of her class to be built, the Miracle was originally assigned to the Eighth Fleet under Prefect Marcelius Natadas, where it served with the Eighth Fleet for ninety-two years before being reassigned to the Citadel Defense Fleet, where it spent the rest of its career. The Miracle spent most of its time in the CDF patrolling the Widow relay, enforcing customs regulations, monitoring traffic and/or running blockade against criminal ships attempting to escape C-Sec. On 19 July 2183 CE, the Miracle was destroyed when geth heretic forces, personally spearheaded by the Reaper Sovereign, blitzed through the Widow relay and unleashed a massive barrage on the CDF in the opening stages of the Battle of the Citadel: the ship was on low threat condition at the time, with the captain resting in his quarters and all important work stations operated by skeleton crews: as such, in the time it took for the ship to be destroyed, none of the crew had time to respond. The sacrifice of the Miracle and its crew are noted on the Heroes of the Citadel monument, along with the other CDF ships destroyed protecting the Citadel.
