The first ''Varric''-pattern heavy cruisers were commissioned during the [[Ages of Conflict|Third Age of Conflict]] in the Covenant's early centuries to fight the many bloody civil wars and slaughters, which in turn typified the Covenant's [[Ages of Conflict]] and [[Ages of Doubt|Doubt]] during this early period. Because of this service, each ''Varric''-pattern warship is a symbol of ancient honor, and their accumulated glory reflects on the hand-picked crews. As an [[Examiner (ship type)|examiner]]-class vessel, ''Varric''-pattern heavy cruisers were sent far across the [[Orion Arm]], where their missions often determined the fate of entire worlds and species. Because of this prestigious assignment, only Ministries that had received approval from the Hierarchs were allowed to activate, crew, and deploy these powerful warships.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | The first ''Varric''-pattern heavy cruisers were commissioned during the [[Ages of Conflict|Third Age of Conflict]] in the Covenant's early centuries to fight the many bloody civil wars and slaughters, which in turn typified the Covenant's [[Ages of Conflict]] and [[Ages of Doubt|Doubt]] during this early period.

When the [[Great Schism]] erupted, these powerful capital ships were pitted against both each other and the other units of the Covenant. The heavy cruiser ''[[Incorruptible]]'', now commandeered by [[Voro 'Mantakree]], briefly attempted to unify the infighting Covenant fleets in order to quarantine the [[Flood]] during the [[Battle of Installation 05]]. It would later lead an armada from the [[Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose]] to [[Onyx]], where it was ultimately destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}} | When the [[Great Schism]] erupted, these powerful capital ships were pitted against both each other and the other units of the Covenant.
