-'''Dragoons''' were a form of first-order [[Forerunner]] navy warships. Used from the earliest interstellar expansion by the Forerunners, dragoons were accompanied by vast entourages of [[weapon-ships]] and combat [[Sentinel|Sentinels]].<ref name="wf">''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', p. 80-81</ref>

+'''Dragoons''' were a form of [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner fleet|naval]] [[Forerunner starship|warships]] ranging from [[Forerunner dreadnought|prime dreadnoughts]] to [[Orders of battle|third-order]] fast cruisers. {{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p382|Enc22|Page=382}}
-Dragoons were crewed by [[Navarch|navarchs]] and a single [[Princeps|princep]], protected by significant numbers of heavily-armored [[Warrior-Servant|Warrior-Servants]] [[Scutarii|scutarii]] and [[Venatore|venatores]], and were equipped with an long-range [[Auspex array]] scanning system, [[Converging beam cannon|converging beam cannons]] and a [[Torsion driver|torsion driver]]. Two dragoons combined with a battle station formed a combat trident, able to be deployed across the galaxy as a policing force for trivial faction or pocket empire matters. Combat tridents were expanded to ten dragoons within the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].
+==Overview==
+Serving in the vanguard of Forerunner fleets, dragoons were fast and heavily armed.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p382}} They were also accompanied by vast entourages of [[weapon-ship]]s and combat [[sentinel]]s.{{Ref/Book|Id=wf|HWF|Page=80-81}} Dragoons employed during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] had their functional operation systems reduced in autonomy and ability as the [[logic plague]] corrupted every [[ancilla]] it touched. However, the small number of living crew aboard these dragoons made up for the loss of technical efficiency with cold dedication and desperate innovation.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p382}}
-A notable class of dragoon was the [[Sojourner-class dreadnought]], also described as a prime dragoon for its pinnacle Forerunner technologies and effectiveness. It was introduced shortly before containment efforts against the [[Flood]] began, and continued to fight in all major engagments of the Flood war.
