| Originally this ship was known as the ''Joyous Discovery'' and was captained by the [[Kig-Yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] [[Chol Von]]. During the [[Great Schism]], Chol Von took the ship for herself and renamed it ''Paragon''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 73''</ref> After the war, Von stored the ship in the [[Ap'ot|Ap'ot Port]] and used it during her quest to track down and seize the battlecruiser ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''. Chol knew that Kig-Yar [[Sav Fel]] was in possession of the battlecruiser and she would need to find him. She gathered a crew of Kig-Yar that were in Ap'ot, including [[Zim]], a former scout that served under Von.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 141-144''</ref> Von took the ''Paragon'' to [[Eayn]], to look for [[Eith Mor]], an associate of Sav Fel. At Eayn, she only found Eith's [[Huz Mor-Kha|cousin]], who sent her to Eith's location at the [[Station of Constant Sustenance]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 170-172''</ref> | | Originally this ship was known as the ''Joyous Discovery'' and was captained by the [[Kig-Yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] [[Chol Von]]. During the [[Great Schism]] Chol Von renamed the ship, calling it ''Paragon''. Sometime after the end of the war she lost the ship. |

| The ''Paragon'' arrived and docked with the station.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 219''</ref> Von succeeded to tracking down Eith. Mor attempted to escape but was caught and interrogated by Von after a brief chase. Eith revealed that Sav Fel was on the [[human]] colony of [[Venezia]]. Satisfied with the information she had gained, Chol Von and her crew then left the station.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 222-227''</ref> After, the ''Paragon'' arrived over Venezia. Chol, [[Bakz]], and [[Nulm]], took one of the ship's [[Kig-Yar shuttle|shuttles]] to the surface of the planet. After interrogating and taking Fel along, the ''Paragon'' departed Venezia to go to the ''Inquisitor'''s location.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 229''</ref>

| Upon arriving at the [[Shaps system]], where the ''Pious Inquisitor'' was, Chol realized that the ''Inquisitor'' was in lock-down. Instead, she had the ''Paragon'' connect with the ''Inquisitor'' with an umbilical and they cut into the battlecruiser.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 274''</ref> While Chol and fifteen other Kig-Yar boarded the ''Inquisitor'', the rest of the crew, including Zim and Fel, remained aboard the ''Paragon''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 327''</ref>

| | |
| However, the battlecruiser's [[Huragok]], [[Sometimes Sinks]], sent the ''Inquisitor'' into [[slipspace]]. When the ''Inquisitor'' jumped into slipspace, it ripped out the ''Paragon'''s umbilical and presumably killed [[Lig]] and [[Ved]] in the hangar bay. In addition, the ''Paragon'' was in close proximity when the battlecruiser entered slipspace, possibly damaging the missionary ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 327''</ref> Later, Chol and her remaining crew left the ''Inquisitor'' in a shuttlecraft, after setting it to explode, to look for the ''Paragon''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 443''</ref>
