The Blockade Runner is a class of Sangheili corvette used by the Sangheili during the War of Beginnings and later utilized by the fleets of Covenant remnants, including the Swords of Sanghelios and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction.[2][3] While these corvettes lack in armor and protection, Blockade Runners are fast ships with powerful armaments.[2]
Operational history
The Blockade Runners were first used by the Sangheili against the San'Shyuum during the War of Beginnings. One legendary Blockade Runner, Joori's Light, succeeded in evading destruction and capture at the hands of the San'Shyuum during the war. When the war came to an end and the Covenant was established through the Writ of Union, the crew of Joori's Light refused to join the Covenant and instead escaped to uncharted space.[2]
As the Blooding Years embroiled Sanghelios, Blockade Runners have been used in supporting ground operations during the civil war against the better judgment of their shipmasters.[2] In 2558, some of these ships were present during the Battle of Kamchatka[4] and the Battle of Sunaion.[5] Spartan-IVs aboard the UNSC Infinity trained in a simulation of War Games set during the Battle of Installation 04, but with the ships from the Fleet of Particular Justice replaced by these post-war ships.[6]
