The '''Tarasque heavy fighter''' is an older [[Covenant]] [[Sangheili]]-manned [[space fighter]].<ref name="h3"/> It may be used as a bomber, strikecraft, or [[dropship]].<ref name="fb stats"/><ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref> | |||
The Tarasque | |||
== | ==Operational history== | ||
The Tarasque | During the height of the Covenant's reign, the empire's fleets contained a myriad of eclectic craft, all ordained to use their inherent gifts and abilities to carry out the will of the Prophets. The venerable Tarasque heavy strikecraft long served as a messenger of destruction for those in the Covenant who balked at the sacrifices considered necessary for the [[Great Journey]], and as envoys for conversion and compliance fleets. A number of these fighters were brought to [[Installation 00]] in December of [[2552]]. | ||
Following the Covenant's end, the Tarasque became less ubiquitous, but the success of its design pattern cast a long shadow over its successors and cousins, such as the [[Phantom]] dropship. In particular, the Tarasque’s refined and efficient controls are still the standard by which control systems of the strikecraft used by [[Covenant remnants]] are measured, and many Sangheili flight harnesses are produced with the interface jacks and cyberlink translators necessary to synchronize with these craft.<ref name="h3"/> By [[2553|January of 2553]], the [[Servants of Abiding Truth]] had acquired two Tarasque fighters.<ref name="gl116"/><ref name="CF100"/> | |||
