'''Relic cores'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=220}}, also referred to as '''shrine-cores''',{{Ref/Book|Id=WF65|HWF|Page=65}} are a kind of [[Forerunner]] technology generally used for the purposes of power generation. During its reign, the [[Covenant]]'s relic-hunters and recovery teams located and secured many such cores for repurposing - usually installed into their [[Covenant starship|warships]] to augment (or even replace) the ship's existing [[pinch fusion reactor]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|WF65}} The use of an irreplaceable shrine-core was the only instance in which a Covenant ship may forgo the use of pinch fusion, using cores extracted directly from [[Forerunner starship]]s.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=224}} | '''Relic cores'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=220}}, also referred to as '''shrine-cores''',{{Ref/Book|Id=WF65|HWF|Page=65}} are a kind of [[Forerunner]] technology generally used for the purposes of power generation.

The installing of relic cores is a process generally undertaken by [[Huragok]] engineers, as the inner workings of the cores' functions remain little-understood.{{Ref/Reuse|WF65}} The use of such cores was often inefficient and/or unsafe, but the Covenant viewed the recovery and repurposing of such relics as a high honour, and thus endeavoured to make use of them whenever possible.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The installing of relic cores is a process generally undertaken by [[Huragok]] engineers, as the inner workings of the cores' functions remain little-understood.{{Ref/Reuse|WF65}} The use of such cores was often inefficient and/or unsafe, but the Covenant viewed the recovery and repurposing of such relics as a high honour, and thus endeavoured to make use of them whenever possible.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

The {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}} is built around an array of relic cores, referred to as '''weapon-cores''', and used for the purposes of powering the ship's vast array of [[plasma lance]]s. Due to the irreplaceable nature of the cores, these ships are impossible to replicate without a new trove of cores being discovered, meaning that their loss is a significant blow to the Covenant.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=267}} | The {{Pattern|Rasus|interdictor}} is built around an array of relic cores, referred to as '''weapon-cores''', and used for the purposes of powering the ship's vast array of [[plasma lance]]s.
