The first ''ORS''-class heavy cruisers were commissioned during the Covenant's early centuries to fight the many bloody civil wars and slaughters, which in turn typified the Covenant's [[Ages of Conflict]] and [[Ages of Doubt|Doubt]] during this early period. Because of this service, each ''ORS''-class warship is a symbol of ancient honor, and their accumulated glory reflects on the hand-picked crews. As an [[examiner]]-class vessel, ''ORS''-class heavy cruisers were sent far across the [[Orion Arm]], where their missions often determined the fate of entire worlds and species. Because of this prestigious assignment, only Ministries that had received approval from the Hierarchs were allowed to activate, crew, and deploy these powerful warships.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}} | The first ''ORS''-class heavy cruisers were commissioned during the Covenant's early centuries to fight the many bloody civil wars and slaughters, which in turn typified the Covenant's [[Ages of Conflict]] and [[Ages of Doubt|Doubt]] during this early period.

A small number of ''ORS''-class heavy cruisers participated in the [[Human-Covenant War]], and they were assigned as flagships for small battle groups. One of these ships supported the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] during the [[Fall of Reach]], where it led a detachment consisting of {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette|heavy corvettes}} and a single {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}. When the [[Great Schism]] erupted, these powerful capital ships were pitted against both each other and the other units of the Covenant. The heavy cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'', now commandeered by [[Voro 'Mantakree]], briefly attempted to unify the infighting Covenant fleets in order to quarantine the [[Flood]] during the [[Battle of Installation 05]]. It would later lead an armada from the [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]] to [[Onyx]], where it was ultimately destroyed. | A small number of ''ORS''-class heavy cruisers participated in the [[Human-Covenant War]], and they were assigned as flagships for small battle groups.
