'''Missionary ships''' were partially independent [[Kig-Yar]] vessels employed by the [[Covenant]] [[Ministry of Tranquility]] to explore the fringes of Covenant-controlled space. Crewed primarily by Kig-Yar, they were sent out to search and find [[Forerunner]] relics as well as new species to incorporate into the Covenant hegemony. The missionary work itself was typically conducted by [[Unggoy]] [[Deacon]]s serving aboard the vessels.<ref>''' | '''Missionary ships''' were partially independent [[Kig-Yar]] vessels employed by the [[Covenant]] [[Ministry of Tranquility]] to explore the fringes of Covenant-controlled space.
