|class=[[Covenant cruiser]]{{Ref/Reuse|class}}{{Ref/Note|Id=shipclass|Text=''Halo: Contact Harvest'' refers to the ''Rapid Conversion'' simply as a [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]]. In the ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' comic adaptation, the vessel is depicted in the likeness of a {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. While this may indicate that the ship was a battlecruiser, it may also be an [[List of changes in Halo: Fall of Reach#Boot Camp|artistic liberty]] similar to the way the ovoid-shaped ''[[Unrelenting]]'' is depicted as a ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser. Based on the visual depiction in ''Fall of Reach'', ''Rapid Conversion'' may also have been a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} (properly introduced in ''[[Halo 4]]''), since the ''CRS'' class is virtually identical to the ''CCS'' class in outward appearance. However, the animated adaptation clearly portrays the ship as a ''CCS'' based on its scale in comparison to the ships of Battlegroup 4, and ''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]'' used a ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser model from ''Halo 3'' to portray ''Conversion''. Later media such as ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'' established that the ''Zanar''-pattern typically has no complement, much oppose to Covenant deployments of troops and vehicles, including Spirits and Choppers, from a single cruiser during the First Battle of Harvest. As such, this make the possibility of ''Rapid Conversion'' being a ''CRS''-class being very unlikely.}} | |||

'''''Rapid Conversion''''' was a [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]] used by [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=class|HCH|Page=???}} In [[2525]], it was commanded by [[Maccabeus]] and later by his nephew [[Tartarus]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=p194|HCH|Page=194}} | |||
==Service history== | |||
''Rapid Conversion'' was originally decommissioned by the [[Sangheili]] for their own use, but was deemed worthy of use by Jiralhanae. Many of its systems, including weapons and [[gravity lift]]s, were disabled. Upon taking command of the vessel, [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]] [[Maccabeus]] commissioned a number of changes to its interior decor, including an authentic facsimile of a traditional Jiralhanae feasting hall with [[door]]s and ceiling supports of forged [[steel]] and lighting provided by primitive oil lamps on clawed floor stands.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p194195|HCH|Page=194-195}} The crew was comprised of a pack of ten Jiralhanae, roughly sixty [[Unggoy]], and over a hundred [[Yanme'e]] responsible for the vessel's upkeep. | |||
===Human-Covenant War=== | |||
The warship was used to deploy troops and vehicles, such as [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirits]] and [[Barukaza Workshop Chopper|Choppers]], to the surface of [[Harvest]] during the [[First Battle of Harvest]] and also used as the Covenant's command center. Though its weapon system, a [[plasma turret|plasma torpedo turret]], had been disabled, the [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]] was able to repair them in time for the ship's actions against Harvest and its colonists. | |||
== | Later, going into low orbit over Harvest's surface in order to deliver troops and gather the relics they sought, ''Rapid Conversion'' fell into a trap that had been laid by [[Captain (ground forces)|Captain]] [[Ponder]] and his troops and was hit by two rounds from a [[mass driver]] based on Harvest's surface. The first round did little damage. The second round, however, passed completely through the warship, severing the connections between the ship's reactor and anti-grav generators, causing the ship to plummet to the planet's surface.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p336342|HCH|Page=336-342}} | ||
In the following months, however, the crew managed to repair the ship and began to glass Harvest, eventually reducing the planet's surface to cinder.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p382|HCH|Page=382}} In April, ''Rapid Conversion'' destroyed the [[Colonial Military Administration]] scout ship [[CMA Argo|''Argo'']].{{Ref/Novel|Id=p391396|HCH|Page=391-396}} Six months later, the CMA's [[Battle Group 4]], consisting of the [[CMA Heracles|''Heracles'']], the [[CMA Arabia|''Arabia'']], and the [[CMA Vostok|''Vostok'']], was sent to investigate the loss of contact with Harvest and the ''Argo''; the battle group was almost completely destroyed by a {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}} ''[[Heaven's Brilliant Bier]]'' that was holding station over the planet. | |||

===Great Schism=== | |||
After ascending to the title of [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]], ''Rapid Conversion'' remained under Tartarus' control. During the [[Great Schism]], following [[Tartarus]]' death on [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], Sangheili assassins led by [[Resa 'Azavayl]] under the banner of the [[Silent Shadow]] eliminated the remaining members of Tartarus' crew aboard the ship.{{Ref/Comic|Id=hunting party|HTFS|Story=Hunting Party}} | |||
