==Overview==
==Overview==
===Design details===
Voidpiercers are equipped with two [[sensor vane]]s located on the nose of the ship, with three [[repulsor engine]]s located on the aft. The engines arranged in a triangular formation, with the topmost engine resting inside a carapace protruding from the dorsal hull of the ship, while the other two are integrated into the regular spaceframe. The overall profile of the ship bears heavy resemblance to the [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] of the Covenant's later years - in particular the elongated hull of the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|BCArt}}
===Development history===
===Development history===
Voidpiercers were developed during the early years of the fledgling Covenant empire, created as a joint design of both [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]] origin as one of the first truly collaborative engineering efforts between the newly-united species. The voidpiercer was developed during an era in which the Covenant's civil and military infrastructure was not yet formalised - as such it was designed with a broad multi-role scope in mind, as opposed to the extreme specialisation of later ships the empire would develop.{{Ref/Reuse|CFEklund}}

At least three voidpiercers were present as part of the [[Prophet of Inner Conviction]]'s fleet at [[The Refuge]] in [[850 BCE]] only two years after the signing of the [[Writ of Union]] in [[852 BCE]], in which they took part in the [[Rending]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=BCArt|HBC|Cover art}} They would continue to be present around High Charity as the city-station was under construction between [[791 BCE]] and [[648 BCE]].{{Ref/Book|HM|Page=42-43}}

As of the 26th century, voidpiercers still remain in service in the [[Covenant fleet]], though are considered outdated. On at least one occaision, [[Shipmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul|Arkad 'Kulul]] was reassigned to one as a punishment after causing minor offence to the [[steward]] of the [[Prophet of Tolerance]] for his lack of piety.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFire|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-covering-fire|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Covering Fire|D=31|M=01|Y=2024}}
