The '''''Elegy's Lament''''' is an {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} that was captured from the [[Covenant]] by the [[Banished]] at some point after [[Atriox]] led the faction in [[Algolis Invasion|rebellion]] against the empire in early [[2549]].{{Ref/Reuse|HP}} 

==Service history==
[[File:HTFSS ElitesVsBrutes.png|250px|thumb|left|[[Resa 'Azavayl]]'s squad boarded ''Elegy's Lament'' to kill the Jiralhanae crew out of hatred for their species, until Atriox's offer to join the Banished as they had little care for [[Sangheili-Jiralhanae war|Sangheili-Jiralhanae feuds]].]]
Although [[Atriox]] and [[Decimus]] commanded a larger captured {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} temporarily as a [[flagship]] for the newly [[Banished]] [[fleet]]s at some point shortly following the [[Algolis Invasion]],{{Ref/Comic|Id=hroa3|Comic=Halo: Rise of Atriox|Issue=[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 3|#3]]}} Atriox was transferred himself to the ''Elegy's Lament'' at some point for reasons unknown, and he personally commanded the vessel to raid and harry in its formative years, alongside a contingent of his forces aboard the corvette.{{Ref/Comic|Id=hroa5|Comic=Halo: Rise of Atriox|Issue=[[Halo: Rise of Atriox Issue 5|#5]]}} 

In the wake of the [[Great Schism]], a [[Special Operations Sangheili|Special Operations]] squad of the [[Silent Shadow]] infiltrated the ship with the intent to massacre the Jiralhanae that crewed it. These four Sangheili were able to kill at least five Jiralhanae before an alarm was triggered and Atriox became alerted to the hostile presence.{{Ref/Reuse|HP}} In the end, instead of completing the slaughter, three of the Silent Shadow turned on their [[Sangheili First Blade officer|leader]], [[Resa 'Azavayl]], and joined the Banished instead after an offer was made to them.{{Ref/Comic|Id=HP|Comic=Halo: Tales from Slipspace|Story=Hunting Party}}

Later, Atriox personally led his Jiralhanae and Sangheili warriors in an assault on a [[Covenant separatists|Covenant separatist]] [[Covenant citadel|base]] on a [[planet]] controlled by the [[fleetmaster]] [[Arkad Nar 'Kulul]] and his fleet, eventually capturing a much larger {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}, ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'', as the new flagship for the core group of the Banished to supply the crew and fuel the assault carrier indefinitely, with its [[shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]] joining the mercenary faction.{{Ref/Reuse|hroa5}}
