| ==Overview==
| | The '''Man O' War''' is a class of [[Sangheili]] [[warship]] used prior to the [[War of Beginnings]] and after the [[Human-Covenant War]].<ref name="IaB">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-infinity-beyond '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Infinity & Beyond'']</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/halo-5-truth/7c25c1e2-29a4-4ef9-bf84-f9912215a0a0/posts?page=1#post17 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Halo 5 Truth'']</ref> In [[2558]], some of these ships were present during the [[Battle of Kamchatka]],<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44oJi5w2Wjc '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5 Opening Cinematic'']</ref> the [[Raid on UNSC Argent Moon|Raid on UNSC ''Argent Moon'']], and the [[Battle of Sunaion]] |
| ===Design details===
| |
| The ''R'sikosh''-pattern is a relatively small warship by Covenant standards, though considered fast, deadly and perhaps most importantly, easy to operate. The man o'war was created utilising secrets gleaned from reverse-engineering [[Forerunner]] relics prior to the formation of the [[Covenant]], and in may respects these advancements were never quite equalled even at the empire's height. As with most pre-Covenant designs, the ''R'sikosh'' has many operational quirks, and crews which do not respect these peculiarities (particularly in respect to the ship's temperamental flux-plasma reactor) often perished for their failure to adhere to ancient rites of maintenance.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |
|
| |
|
| ===Armament===
| | Created by the Sangheili through [[Forerunner]] technology prior to the War of Beginnings, the Man O' War is considered to represent the pinnacle of Sangheili warship design, though the class has never been to equal to [[Covenant]] warship designs.<ref name="canonfodder"/> |
| Despite its small size, the ''R'sikosh'' is heavily-armed, boasting a loadout of one [[Fusion saker|''Shumku''-pattern fusion saker]], two [[Plasma beam emitter|''Corven''-pattern plasma beam emitters]], eight [[Plasma cannon (starship)|''Gadd Naran''-pattern plasma cannons]] and four [[Pulse laser turret|''Eriu''-pattern pulse laser turrets]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| |
| | |
| ==Operational history==
| |
| The ''R'sikosh''-pattern entered service during [[The Former Age]] of Sangheili spaceflight prior to the [[War of Beginnings]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} During the war, [[Pelahsar the Strident]] engineered the man o' war ''[[Reckless Pursuit]]'' to test [[Forerunner]]-derived weapons technologies, intended for use against the [[Keyship]] operated by the [[San'Shyuum]], ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]''. ''Reckless Pursuit'' was successful in this endeavour, and during the [[Battle of Sanghelios]] was responsible for successfully bringing the keyship down and ultimately forcing peace negotiations between Pelahsar and the San'Shyuum.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=259}}

| | |
| In [[2558#October|October 2558]], some of these ships were present during the [[Battle of Kamchatka]]{{Ref/Level|H5G|Osiris (level)|Osiris}}, the [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND|attack]] on ''[[Argent Moon]]''{{Ref/Level|H5G|Blue Team (level)|Blue Team}}, and the [[Battle of Sunaion]].{{Ref/Level|H5G|Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion}} Created by the Sangheili through [[Forerunner]] technology prior to the War of Beginnings, the Man O' War is considered to represent the pinnacle of Sangheili warship design, one that in many respects was never equaled by [[Covenant]] warship designs.{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} By the time the Blooding Years began Man O' Wars had been upgraded to modern specifications. To this day, Sangheili shipwrights remain tight-lipped regarding the full details and capabilities of these warships to outsiders.{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.haloarchive.com/forum/topic/9-canon-fodder-and-random-lore-chat/?page=59|Site=Halo Archive|Page=Canon Fodder thread (page 59)|Quote=I mean, it's not like there wouldn't be upgrades to those older designs as well...|Quotee=Jeff Easterling|D=25|M=05|Y=2018}}

| The [[Wikipedia:man-of-War|man-of-war]] was a powerful ship of the line used by European navies from the 16th to the 19th century, armed with up to 124 guns. This in turn inspired the name for the [[Wikipedia:Portuguese man o' war|Portuguese man o' war]], an extremely venomous Siphonophore. It is likely from one, or both, of these that the Sangheili ship class takes its name. | | The [[Wikipedia:man-of-War|man-of-war]] was a powerful ship of the line used by European navies from the 16th to the 19th century, armed with up to 124 guns.
