===Design and specifications===
Different species have different design philosophies for starships. The Sangheili preferred starships that echoed the aggressive nature of various animals from [[Sanghelios]] and other [[Sangheili colonies]]. The San'Shyuum preferred more ornate designs, something that carried into the Covenant, as well as preferring multi-role vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|cfholidayships}}
