While some ''CRS''-class light cruisers engaged human forces during the [[Covenant War]], the majority of them were assigned in rear echelon assignments to ensure Covenant supply lines were well protected. This made them a prime target for opportunistic warlords during and after the Great Schism to expand their fleets, using them in more combat focused roles than they were intended for.<ref name="Warfleet72"/> | While some ''CRS''-class light cruisers engaged human forces during the [[Covenant War]], the majority of them were assigned in rear echelon assignments to ensure Covenant supply lines were well protected.

The 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]]. 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]]. Though most of the ship's systems were damaged beyond repair in the battle, the ''Spear of Light's'' database later revealed that more of the [[San'Shyuum]] had survived then was previously believed and was used by 'Vadum to begin a search for them.<ref>'''[[Halo: Shadow of Intent]]'''</ref> | The 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]].
