| The '''''Lursu''-pattern brigantine''' is an ancient heavy [[carrier]] class, designed by the [[Sangheili]] during [[The Former Age]] prior to the establishment of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Usage===
| |
| The ''Lursu''-pattern brigantine entered service in the Former Age; the earliest centuries of Sangheili space travel prior to contact with the [[San'Shyuum]] at [[Ulgethon]]. Following the end of the [[War of Beginnings]], the San'Shyuum aimed to diminish Sangheili shipbuilding capability and thus reduced the brigantine's role to one of mere formality.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Centuries after being rendered obsolete as a mainline [[warship]] within the [[Covenant fleet]], Brigantines were placed in Covenant missionary and tithe fleets throughout a majority of the empire's existence. Following the Covenant's fall during the [[Great Schism]], Brigantines have since been brought back into service as a command ship by Sangheili factions during the [[Blooding Years]], primarily the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} - with the former possessing the majority of surviving brigantines.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Many of these ships were sourced from ancient orbital shipbreaking facilities and upgraded to modern specifications, pressed into service as a heavy carrier.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-and-random-lore-chat/?page=59&tab=comments|Site=Halo Archive|Page=Canon Fodder thread|D=25|M=05|Y=2018|Quote=I mean, it's not like there wouldn't be upgrades to those older designs as well...|Quotee=Jeff Easterling}}

| While [[Wikipedia:brigantine|"brigantine"]] referred to a sail configuration, rather than a specific ship class, they were often more powerful, faster and more agile than smaller ships, such as schooners or sloops, but smaller than the [[Wikipedia:brig|brigs]] used by naval forces, and frequently found use as pirate ships, fleet suppliers and light escorts.
