'''Missionary ships''' were partially independent [[Kig-Yar]] vessels employed by the [[Covenant]] [[Ministry of Tranquility]] to explore the fringes of Covenant-controlled space. Crewed primarily by Kig-Yar, they were sent out to search and find [[Forerunner]] relics as well as new species to incorporate into the Covenant hegemony. The missionary work itself was typically conducted by [[Unggoy]] [[Deacon]]s serving aboard the vessels.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 50''</ref>


The first Covenant vessel to make contact with [[human]]ity was a missionary ship, named ''[[Minor Transgression]]''. It was destroyed during [[Skirmish on Minor Transgression|a battle]] with [[Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne|Byrne]] by its [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]], [[Chur'R-Yar]], in an attempt to kill Sgt. Johnson.

==Design details==
The only known missionary ship mentioned thus far is the ''[[Minor Transgression]]'', which was captained by Shipmistress [[Chur'R-Yar]] and made first contact with [[Human]]ity. It was destroyed during a battle with [[Sergeant]]s [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne|Byrne]] by the Ship Mistress, Chur'R-Yar, in an attempt to kill Sgt. Johnson.
As is common with Kig-Yar vessels, missionary ships are less elegant and somewhat irregular in design in comparison to the more uniform and organic designs of most Covenant vessels.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''Chapter 4''</ref> The missionary ship ''[[Minor Transgression]]'' was described as resembling a "fishhook fashioned from impractically thick wire". It had a series of segmented compartments behind its hooked prow and barbed antennae that flexed backward to a single engine in its stern. The vessel was deep blue-black in color.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 26''</ref> The ship had a single central passage leading to the [[bridge]]<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 55''</ref> and a [[methane suite]] for [[Unggoy]] crewmembers.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 53''</ref> The ship was also equipped with an umbilical that the crew used to board other vessels.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 98''</ref> The ceilings of the ships' rooms, such as the bridge, had hexagonal grid patterns made of [[Wikipedia:Beryllium|beryllium]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', Chapter 3, ''page 56''</ref>
