Since the beginning of the Covenant, the battlecruiser has consistently been the hegemony's primary mode of intragalactic transportation.{{Ref/Reuse|waypoint}} For the centuries leading up to the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''CCS'' was involved in every major event in the Covenant's history, including both peace and conflict.

Countless ''CCS''-class battlecruisers were used during the Human-Covenant War in operations ranging from fleet engagements to glassing. They were considered among the most dangerous of Covenant ships and often spearheaded invasions.

The earliest known UNSC encounter with a ''CCS''-class battlecruiser occurred in [[2526]].<ref>[[Data pads|Data pad 10]]</ref> Two ''CCS''-class vessels were present at the [[Battle for Arcadia]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]].

After the [[Great Schism]] erupted on [[2552#November|November 3]], ''CCS''-class battlecruisers played crucial roles on both sides. A [[Indulgence of Conviction|Flood-infected battlecruiser]] broke through the [[Sangheili]]'s blockade of [[Installation 05]] and arrived at [[Voi]], [[Kenya]] on November 17; the Flood forms released by this vessel were glassed by the Sangheili [[Fleet of Retribution]], which arrived moments later.{{Ref/Reuse|ReferenceA}} At the [[Battle of Installation 00]] on [[2552#December|December 11]], both sides made use of several ''CCS''-class battlecruisers; though the Brute-led Covenant forces outnumbered the [[Covenant separatists|Sangheili-led Covenant]] three-to-one, the Fleet of Retribution triumphed, turning the tide of the last battle of the Human-Covenant War.

*[[Wikipedia:Battlecruiser|Battlecruisers]] were a ship class used by European, American and Japanese navies during the First and Second World Wars, developed as an evolution of the armored cruiser, being faster and better-armed than their predecessors, often featuring armaments equivalent to a larger battleship but with lighter armor. By the 1930s, only the Royal navy was using the term "battlecruiser" for its older ships, as other navies replaced battlecruisers with battleships.

*In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', the ''Truth And Reconciliation'' is incorrectly depicted with the ''[[Halo Reach]]'' model of a ''CCS'' belonging to the ''Ket''-pattern classification, despite it being ''Elefen''-pattern in the original mission. This error isn't repeated in Halo 2 Anniversary.
*During the development of ''Halo 2'', ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' was originally going to be a ''CCS''-class battlecruiser, as seen in the [[Halo 2 E3 Demo|E3 2003 demo]].
*The battlecruisers featured in ''Halo 3'' and most later media have four fins instead of two, like those of the ''Truth and Reconciliation''. These battlecruisers also feature the ''[[Marathon]]'' logo on their launch bays.
* In the level ''New Alexandria'' in ''Halo: Reach'', if the player performs the [[flyable Pelican and Phantom]] Easter egg and flies inside one of the ''CCS''-class battlecruisers outside of the map, they will find a small cube in the center of either ship. It is a cube map, which contains the texture for the vessel.
