Conflict occurred all across Covenant space, including from within ships themselves. Notably, one [[Unidentified Shipmaster (Righteous Vigilance)|Sangheili Shipmaster]] grabbed the [[Prophet of Conviction|Prophet]] aboard his ship, having barged into his cabin, and executed him before the rest of the crew. [[Chol Von]], a [[T'vaoan]] [[Shipmaster|shipmistress]], captured a [[Phantom]], killing two [[Sangheili]] in the process.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 73''</ref> She renamed her [[missionary ship]] ''[[Paragon|Joyous Discovery]]'' as ''Paragon''.<ref name="md141">'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''page 141''</ref> | Conflict occurred all across Covenant space, including from within ships themselves.
