The '''Banished dreadnought'''{{Ref/Level|HINF|House of Reckoning}} is a [[Banished]] [[Capital ship|capital warship]] utilizing heavily modified [[Covenant starship|Covenant ship hulls]] upgraded by the [[Irusk Workshop]].{{Ref/Site|Id=Modified|Site=Halo Waypoint|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-shippin-out|Page=Canon Fodder - Shippin' Out|D=02|M=02|Y=2022}} While originally created to support Jiralhanae [[Planetary warfare|planetary occupations]], they have since become a lifeline of Jiralhanae civilisation in the wake of the [[Razing of Oth Sonin|destruction]] of [[Doisac]], the Jiralhanae homeworld.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
Banished dreadnoughts were originally intended as full-scale occupation ships, carrying everything needed to invade a world. Because of this, they can carry a massive amount of vehicles, drop-bases, and [[Outpost]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Propulsion===
Dreadnoughts are propelled by a three massive [[repulsor engine]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}

===Crew and complement===
Banished dreadnoughts can carry over 10,000 warriors, as well as many vehicles.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Armament===
They possess many [[pulse laser turret]]s, as well as [[plasma torpedo]]es, [[plasma lance]]s, [[scindere arrays]], and a [[superheavy grav-impact driver]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The ship itself can also simply ram into enemy vessels, presumably using the aforementioned [[gravitic]] impact driver to inflict more damage.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} Task forces of dreadnoughts have been compared to the [[Ogre-wolf|ogre-wolves]] of [[Teash]], using pack-hunting tactics to hunt down and destroy any opponent they choose.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Ships of the line==
Dreadnoughts are named for spirits and legends originating from the Jiralhanae's native culture, much of which was lost following contact with the [[Covenant]] in [[2492]] CE. The practice was originally intended to honour and preserve what had been lost prior to the [[Great Immolation]], the nuclear war that engulfed [[Doisac]] centuries ago, but the [[Razing of Oth Sonin]] and Doisac's total obliteration has seen the practice given a new meaning for the survivors of the holocaust.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Operational history==
[[File:Enc22 Doisackening.jpg|thumb|250px|Dreadnoughts were used to ferry the remnants of Jiralhanae civilisation to safety during the destruction of Doisac.]]
The dreadnoughts were first created in [[2553]], using salvaged and old hulls of ex-[[Covenant starship]]s heavily modified by the [[Irusk Workshop]]. They rapidly became the most common warship class in the fleet of the Banished, intended for use in supporting planetary occupations and raiding in the wake of the Covenant empire's [[Great Schism|collapse]]. As such, their outfit with long-term occupation equipment made them ideally suited for ferrying the survivors of the Jiralhanae away from the now-shattered remains of Doisac, following its destruction by the [[Guardian Custode]] at the behest of [[Cortana]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Installation 07 conflict===
During the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] in [[2559#December|December 2559]], many dreadnoughts were deployed to [[Battle over Installation 07|engage]] the [[UNSC Navy]] [[fleet]] near [[Installation 07]] and in high orbit around the planet [[Ephsu I]], with at least two used to ram the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} multiple times to brutally damage her. During that time the leader of the Banished, [[Warmaster]] [[Atriox]], led boarding parties inside the UNSC supercarrier, defeated [[John-117]] and threw the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] out of a hangar and into space. [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Banished Phantom]]s fired upon [[Pelican]]s and life pods as they fled the burning and broken carrier. Eventually, many [[Mulsanne-class light frigate|UNSC frigates]] were forced to crash on the installation while ''Infinity''{{'}}s fate was left unknown, with her fleet devastated by the enemy armada. However, Installation 07 was damaged during the battle and moved from the [[Ephsu system]] to an unknown location; even with the advantage of their dreadnoughts and total space superiority in the ring's locale, the Banished were just as stranded as the UNSC survivors.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} 

Numerous dreadnoughts remained stationed in close proximity to [[Installation 07]] as of [[2560#May|May 2560]] to support the Banished occupation.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}} One such vessel, ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'', captured the [[Pelican]] ''[[Echo 216]]'' with its [[stasis cannon]] after the Pelican's [[Fernando Esparza|pilot]] exposed his position by recovering [[John-117]] who had drifted in space for months. The Spartan boarded the Banished warship after going EVA through a UNSC and Banished asset debris field, and as he made his way to the ship's bridge, he observed that it was preparing to land a massive invasion force on the ring to eradicate the surviving UNSC presence. The Master Chief eventually freed ''Echo-216'' from the stasis cannon and overloaded dreadnaught's engines, destroying it, but exposing his survival to [[Escharum]] and the Banished in the process.{{Ref/Level|Id=gbraakon|HINF|Warship Gbraakon}}

A Banished dreadnought was positioned in the skies directly above the shattered portion of the ring. This warship had a bird's eye view of the Master Chief's activities, and over the course of the Battle for Zeta Halo it deployed numerous reinforcement troops onto the ring's inner surface via Phantoms and drop pods in order to counter the Spartan.{{Ref/Reuse|HINF}}
