{{Article Quote|Don't let its luxury fool you - the Pious Inquisitor is one of the fastest ships in the Covenant fleet.}}

The '''''Pious Inquisitor''''',<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', multiplayer level, ''[[Midship]]''</ref> renamed '''''Naomi''''' by [[Staffan Sentzke]] after [[Naomi-010|his daughter]],<ref>'''[[Halo: Mortal Dictata]]''', ''Chapter 14''</ref> was a [[Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} reputed to be one of the fastest ships in the [[Covenant fleet]].

The ''Pious Inquisitor'' saw action at the [[Battle of Earth]]. The ''Inquisitor'' remained intact through the Battle of Earth and it was under [[Jiralhanae]] control at the beginning of the [[Great Schism]]. During the Schism, [[Sangheili]] loyal to the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] took over the ship and it joined forces with the [[Covenant separatists]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 44''</ref> The ''Inquisitor'' returned to ''High Charity'' to join the [[Fleet of Retribution]] in preventing the [[Flood]] from spreading. Now part of the fleet, it joined pursuit of a [[Unidentified Flood-captured battlecruiser|Flood-controlled ship]] to Earth, after which it entered the [[Portal at Voi|Portal]] and took part in the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. Ultimately, the ship survived the battle.

After the war, the ''Pious Inquisitor'' returned to [[Sanghelios]]. At some point, the ship was stolen by [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], the Bishop and head of the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]]. 'Telcam intended to use the ''Inquisitor'' to his advantage during the [[Sangheili civil war]], against the forces loyal to [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]. 'Telcam had entrusted the ship to a group of [[Kig-Yar]], led by [[T'vaoan]] [[piracy|pirate]] [[Sav Fel]].<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 329''</ref><ref name="Tor">[http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/07/halo-mortal-dictata-excerpt#more '''Tor.com''' ''Halo: Mortal Dictata (Excerpt) by Karen Traviss'']</ref> However, the Kig-Yar decided to sell the ship for themselves and Fel took the ''Inquisitor'' to a barren star system for safekeeping. Upon being informed of this, the [[ONI]] team [[Kilo-Five]] began working to take back the ''Inquisitor'' for the Arbiter.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 84''</ref>

Sav Fel fled to the [[human]] colony of [[Venezia]] and began negotiating with [[insurrectionist]] [[Staffan Sentzke]], who originally planned to use the ship to glass [[Earth]].<ref name="Tor"/> As payment for the ship, Fel demanded [[particle beam rifle]]s, [[dropship]]s, and [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols]]. Sentzke stated that he would first need to see the ship and test its ventral beam. Fel told him the ship was in another system and that he planned to show him something extra when he saw the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 59-64''</ref> Sav Fel transported Staffan and his son, [[Edvin Sentzke|Edvin]], to his ship in a [[Kig-Yar shuttle|shuttle]] and then took them to where he had hidden ''Pious Inquisitor''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 109''</ref>

Shipmistress Von and her crew captured Sav Fel, who led them to the location of ''Pious Inquisitor''. Von's Kig-Yar boarded the ship, but Sometimes Sinks continued to hinder their attempts to access its vital systems and made a slipspace transition to a different location, uncoupling ''Inquisitor'' from the Kig-Yar ship and killing several of the pirates. Shortly afterward, Kilo-Five were able to locate ''Pious Inquisitor''. Sometimes Sinks had placed the ship in lockdown and only followed Sentzke's orders, forcing Kilo-Five to take the captured Staffan along as they entered the battlecruiser.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 397''</ref> With the rest of Kilo-Five advancing toward the bridge, Chol Von set the ship's [[plasma torpedo]]es to detonate, which would cause the ''Inquisitor'' to violently [[self-destruct]]. While Kilo-Five evacuated to their own dropships, Sentzke took a [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]] from the [[shuttle bay]], intending to use the Covenant dropship to escape.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 445''</ref>

*The ''Pious Inquisitor'' is the setting for the ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map [[Midship]]. The ship is also the location of the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer map [[Heretic (level)|Heretic]], a remake of Midship.

*The multiplayer map is set on the Covenant cruiser deck.<ref name="EVG">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 124''</ref>

*According to bonus features in the ''Halo 2'' [[Halo 2 Collector's Edition|Collector's Edition]], ''Begotten Angel'' was the original name of the vessel featured in Midship.<ref>'''[[Halo 2 Collector's Edition]]''': ''Making of Halo 2''</ref>
