The Hekar Taa-pattern blockade runner[6] is a vestigial class of corvette used by the Sangheili during the War of Beginnings.[1] This class of corvette was later utilized by the fleets of Covenant remnants, including the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant.[5][8] While these corvettes lack in armor and protection, blockade runners are fast ships with powerful armaments.[5]
