Little is known of the ''Elefen''{{'}}s design features.

According to correspondences with [[Stephen Loftus]], a common contributor to ''Halo'' source books, the ''Elefen'' namedrop was intended to serve as a definitive split between the design featured in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'' (and its [[Halo 2: Anniversary|Anniversary]] edition) and that seen in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and subsequent games. This split is reminiscent of the {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier|}} and {{Pattern|Kerel|assault carrier}}s, though has yet to be corroborated in any subsequent looks at the ship.{{Ref/Generic|[[Stephen Loftus]] on his [[User talk:ScaleMaster117#Elefen-pattern battlecruiser|talk page]]}} The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' uses both of the major variations on the page discussing the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser and does not call out a specific ship as an ''Elefen'', while ''Warfleet'' calls out the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' as a ''Ket''-pattern - featuring it in its classic ''Combat Evolved'' design style with a smooth hull. This may indicate that the ''Elefen''-pattern battlecruiser is in fact the battlecruiser design seen in ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo: Reach|Reach]]'' - though thus far no source has explicitly confirmed as such. | According to correspondences with [[Stephen Loftus]], a common contributor to ''Halo'' source books, the ''Elefen'' namedrop was intended to serve as a definitive split between the design featured in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'' (and its [[Halo 2: Anniversary|Anniversary]] edition) and that seen in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and subsequent games.
