Editing Ages of Discovery

{{Era|Covenant}}
{{Ages}}

'''Ages of Discovery''' are time periods in [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] history where great technological advancements or discoveries of [[Forerunner]] relics are made. It is believed that during one of these Ages, the [[San'Shyuum]] (possibly with the help of the [[Huragok]]), discovered the existence of the [[Halo Array]], giving birth to the [[Covenant religion]], with its central theme that its activation would begin the [[Covenant religion#The Great Journey|Great Journey]] for the Covenant, leading them to salvation. What they did not know is that activating the array would lead to the destruction of all sentient life in the galaxy.

The Twentieth Age of Discovery occurred in the late 21st century. It was during this period, circa [[2070]], that the ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'' was constructed. <ref name="Warfleet>'''[[Halo: Warfleet]]''', pg. 76-77</ref> The ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' was built during the Third Age of Discovery, circa [[2135]].<ref name="Warfleet2">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', pgs. 70-71</ref>
