==Background==
In [[2015|February 2015]], Spartan Games announced that the company had established a License Agreement with [[Microsoft Studios]] to design and produce tabletop miniatures games for the ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' series. Spartan Games worked together with [[343 Industries]] to produce ship designs that had never visually appeared in previous canon, such as the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}} and the {{Class|Epoch|heavy carrier}}. Although the company was given considerable freedom in designing the models, 343i's Franchise team ensured that each vessel properly fit their faction, role, and established canonical details.<ref name="canon fodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-in-the-loop '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - In the Loop'']</ref>
