|class= | |class={{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}{{Ref/Note|Id=shipclass|Text=''Halo: Contact Harvest'' refers to the ''Rapid Conversion'' simply as a [[Covenant cruiser|cruiser]]. In the ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' comic adaptation, the vessel is depicted in the likeness of a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}. While this may indicate that the ship was a battlecruiser, it may also be an [[List of changes in Halo: Fall of Reach#Boot Camp|artistic liberty]] similar to the way the ovoid-shaped ''[[Unrelenting]]'' is depicted as a ''CCS''-class battlecruiser. Based on the visual depiction in ''Fall of Reach'', ''Rapid Conversion'' may also have been a {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} (properly introduced in ''[[Halo 4]]''), since the ''CRS'' class is virtually identical to the ''CCS'' class in outward appearance. However, the animated adaptation clearly portrays the ship as a ''CCS'' based on its scale in comparison to the ships of Battlegroup 4, and ''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]'' used a ''CCS''-class battlecruiser model from ''Halo 3'' to portray ''Conversion''. Later media such as ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]'' established that the ''Zanar''-pattern typically has no complement, much oppose to Covenant deployments of troops and vehicles, including Spirits and Choppers, from a single cruiser during the First Battle of Harvest. As such, this make the possibility of ''Rapid Conversion'' being a ''CRS''-class being very unlikely.}} | ||

''Rapid Conversion'' was originally decommissioned by the [[Sangheili]] for their own use, but was deemed worthy of use by Jiralhanae. Many of its systems, including weapons and [[gravity lift]]s, were disabled. Upon taking command of the vessel, [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]] [[Maccabeus]] commissioned a number of changes to its interior decor, including an authentic facsimile of a traditional Jiralhanae feasting hall with [[door]]s and ceiling supports of forged [[steel]] and lighting provided by primitive oil lamps on clawed floor stands.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p194195|HCH|Page=194-195}} The crew was comprised of a pack of ten Jiralhanae, roughly sixty [[Unggoy]], and over a hundred [[Yanme'e]] responsible for the vessel's upkeep. | ''Rapid Conversion'' was originally decommissioned by the [[Sangheili]] for their own use, but was deemed worthy of use by Jiralhanae.

Later, going into low orbit over Harvest's surface in order to deliver troops and gather the relics they sought, ''Rapid Conversion'' fell into a trap that had been laid by [[Captain (ground forces)|Captain]] [[Ponder]] and his troops and was hit by two rounds from a [[mass driver]] based on Harvest's surface. The first round did little damage. The second round, however, passed completely through the warship, severing the connections between the ship's reactor and anti-grav generators, causing the ship to plummet to the planet's surface.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p336342|HCH|Page=336-342}} | Later, going into low orbit over Harvest's surface in order to deliver troops and gather the relics they sought, ''Rapid Conversion'' fell into a trap that had been laid by [[Captain (ground forces)|Captain]] [[Ponder]] and his troops and was hit by two rounds from a [[mass driver]] based on Harvest's surface.
