 ==Operational History==
-In 2526, during the [[Human-Covenant War]], the Covenant deployed 3 CBVs with support from 100 armored personnel carriers (APCs) as well as several [[Wraiths]] and rapid assault vehicles (RAVs) on the planet [[Mesra]] in an attempt to cross a gorge and gain access to a mine and its resources. [[Blue Team]] was tasked with destroying the CBVs to prevent them from crossing the gorge.{{Ref/Reuse|H01}} After the first two were destroyed, the Covenant pulled back their third vehicle and reinforced their wraiths with 50 [[combat support vehicle]]s shortly after. {{Ref/Novel|Id=H04|Oblv|Chapter=4}}

-==Trivia==
-*The APCs that support the CBVs' advance are described as "slow moving" and possess a [[plasma cannon]]. This description matches the [[Type-29 Shadow]]. Whether or not this vehicle is a Shadow, an [[Umbra]], or a completely diffierent Covenant vehicle is unclear.{{Ref/Reuse|H01}}
-*The CBV is the first ground vehicle to feature a [[Kig-Yar]] operator.{{Ref/Reuse|H02}}
-*In addition, the Rapid Assault Vehicles supporting the CBVs are described as "single seat RAVs" that "looked like motorcycles with front wings and no wheels", which matches the description of the [[Type-32 Ghost]]. However, Blue Team refers to these vehicles only as RAVs throughout the book. Oddly enough, like the CBVs, they are also piloted by Kig-Yar, which is unusual. Whether or not these vehicles are ghosts, but were not designated as such by [[ONI]] yet or if they were completely different vehicles altogether is unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|H01}}
