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.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}}{{Ref/Twitter|Halo|1182642253476421637|Halo|Quote=The Tarasque heavy strikecraft has long served as a deterrent to those who would dare stand in the way of the Great Journey, acting as envoy for the conversion and compliance fleets which put new species on the path to salvation. #FictionFriday|D=13|M=04|Y=2022}} A number of these fighters were brought to [[Installation 00]] in December of [[2552]]. {{Citation needed}} | |||
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. | 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 harness]]es are produced with the interface jacks and cyberlink translators necessary to synchronize with these craft.{{Ref/Reuse|h3}} By [[2553|January of 2553]], the [[Servants of Abiding Truth]] had acquired two Tarasque fighters.{{Ref/Reuse|HGC4}}{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}} | ||
