At the onset of the [[Great Schism]] at the war's end, ''Zanar''-pattern cruisers were widely seized by warlords across the former-empire.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet72}} The heavily-modified light cruiser ''[[Spear of Light]]'' acted as the vessel for [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]] who used it to rescue the [[Boru'a'Neem|Minister of Preparation]] during the [[Fall of High Charity]] and personally destroyed a number of Sangheili-controlled vessels such as the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Eternal Reward]]''. Convinced that [[Rtas 'Vadum]] was responsible for the death of his family, the Prelate formed [[Tem'Bhetek's faction|a faction]] to get revenge upon the [[Sangheili]]. The cruiser attacked two [[Sangheili colonies]] and ambushed the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' at the second one with the crew abandoning the ''Spear of Light'' to board the ''Shadow of Intent''. After the boarders were repelled, the cruiser was captured and its navigation database led the Sangheili to the [[prototype Halo installation]].{{Ref/Novel|HSoI}} | At the onset of the [[Great Schism]] at the war's end, ''Zanar''-pattern cruisers were widely seized by warlords across the former-empire.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet72}} The heavily-modified light cruiser ''[[Spear of Light]]'' acted as the vessel for [[Prelate]] [[Tem'Bhetek]] who used it to rescue the [[Boru'a'Neem|Minister of Preparation]] during the [[Fall of High Charity]] and personally destroyed a number of Sangheili-controlled vessels such as the {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Eternal Reward]]''.

Perhaps the most excessive usage of the ''Zanar'' was that of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].

At least one of these cruisers, was sucked into the [[gravity well]] created by the Didact's Cryptum entering slipspace and was destroyed. | Perhaps the most excessive usage of the ''Zanar'' was that of [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].
