History
The Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser was drafted by the UNSC Navy to serve as an intermediate between a battleship and a heavy cruiser.

During its history and the First Contact War, the Covenant made use of two-kilometer long battleships to destroy and glass human worlds. Hundreds of battleships were part of the Unyielding Hierophant, and all were destroyed during Operation FIRST STRIKE.

Many Vindication-class light battleships participated of the Requiem Campaign in late 2564.
