| A '''vestige''' is a piece of [[Covenant]] technology created during the earliest [[Age]]s of the empire.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFalcFic|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-falcon-fiction-flight|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Falcon Fiction Flight|D=06|M=08|Y=2025}}

| ==Overview==
| |
| The term vestige broadly refers to all manner of materiel and technology with notable examples being [[Covenant starship|starships]] and weaponry. The span of time the vestige label applies to is at least from [[The Former Age]] to the [[Ages of Reclamation|Third Age of Reclamation]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFalcFic}} Vestige starships while being weaker than their modern Covenant counterparts were still more technologically advanced compared to [[human starship]]s with many of these ships being exclusively [[Sangheili]] in design.{{Ref/Reuse|vestigefleet}}

| Technologies specifically referred to as a vestige include:{{Ref/Reuse|CFFalcFic}}{{Ref/Book|Id=vestigefleet|HWF|Section=Vestiges|Page=78-79}}

| ===Covenant era===
| |
| Many of the vestige Sangheili ships were stored away between stars or in carved out caverns of airless worlds in hopes of a possible future rebellion. The records for their locations were deliberately removed and forgotten.{{Ref/Reuse|vestigefleet}}
| |
| | |
| ===Postwar===
| |
| A lot of vestige technology would be brought back to service during the [[Blooding Years]] and beyond. The [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] found cache of ''Hekar Taa''-pattern ships on the edge of the [[Joori]] system and reintegrated back into their fleets.{{Ref/Reuse|vestigefleet}} Similarly, in [[2560]], Vestige Carbines were found in a vault on [[Qikost]] by the Swords.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFalcFic}}
