They served a place in his plans for the [[Changing of the Guard|removal]] of the [[Sangheili]] from the core military castes of the Covenant to be replaced by the Jiralhanae, and as such combine the technological advances of the Covenant with Jiralhanae construction and design methodologies. Following the onset of the Schism and the collapse of the empire, an unknown number of these ships were nearing the final stages of completion—and in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|years following]] would slowly fall into the hands of [[Atriox]] in a number of clandestine raids launched by the [[Banished]] against informant cells and former-Covenant armories.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

Drekars were most notably employed by the Banished in the months leading up to the [[Battle over Installation 07]]—with the stealth ships used to influence the shift of events leading up to the Banished [[Battle for Zeta Halo|occupation]] of the [[Installation 07|ring]]. How many drekars the Banished operate remains unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||
