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 | The dreadnoughts were first created in [[2553]], using salvaged and old hulls of ex-[[Covenant starship]]s heavily modified by the [[Irusk Workshop]].

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 | 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 four 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, ''Infinity'' was forced to crash land on [[Installation 07]] alongside many [[Mulsanne-class light frigate|UNSC frigates]], 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 | 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 have been 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 catastrophically damaged the warship in the process, causing it to plummet into Zeta Halo.{{Ref/Level|Id=gbraakon|HINF|Warship Gbraakon}} | ||

This warship had a bird's eye view of the Master Chief's activities, and over the course of the Installation 07 conflict 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}} | ||
