The Ministry of Fervent Intercession boasted a large amount of [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]] within its ranks,<ref name="fb">'''[[Halo: Fleet Battles]]''', ''Core Rulebook - page 7''</ref> which were commonly deployed to achieve ministry goals.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} The fanaticism held by those within the Ministry of Fervent Intercession while charged with defending Forerunner sites made them useful during the Covenant's [[Human-Covenant War|war]] against [[human]]ity, though the ministry's commanders rarely paid any heed to orders that did not deal directly with the safety of reliquaries.{{Ref/Reuse|fb}} | |||
