The '''''Elefen''-pattern battlecruiser''' is a classification of warship employed by the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Book|Id=HWF|HWF|Page=73|Quote=The Zanar pattern is a stable mutation of the much larger Ket and Elefen pattern battlecruisers.}} The ''Elefen''-patterm, alongside the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser|}}, was one of the mainstay [[Covenant battlecruiser|battlecruiser]] designs employed by the Covenant{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=264}}, succeeding the {{Pattern|Maugen|armored cruiser}}.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=265}} | |||
The {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} was produced as a mutation - albeit a stable one - of the ''Elefen'' and ''Ket'' [[design pattern]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HWF}} | |||
==Production notes== | |||
<!--Discussions with Ken have advised us not to treat the Elefen as a design that has ever been seen in visual media; only provide information which can be *directly sourced* from the source material.--> | |||
Little is known of the ''Elefen''{{'}}s design features. The ship was first namedropped in ''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]''{{Ref/Reuse|HWF}} and later again mentioned in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, though neither book have gone into any detail on the specifics of the design. | |||
According to correspondences with [[Stephen Loftus]], a common contributor to ''Halo'' source books, the ''Elefen'' namedrop was intended to serve as a definitive split between the design featured in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]'' (and its [[Halo 2: Anniversary|Anniversary]] edition) and that seen in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and subsequent games. This split is reminiscent of the {{Pattern|Syfon|assault carrier|}} and {{Pattern|Kerel|assault carrier}}s, though has yet to be corroborated in any subsequent looks at the ship.{{Ref/Generic|[[Stephen Loftus]] on his [[User talk:ScaleMaster117#Elefen-pattern battlecruiser|talk page]]}} The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' uses both of the major variations on the page discussing the ''Ket''-pattern battlecruiser and does not call out a specific ship as an ''Elefen'', while ''Warfleet'' calls out the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' as a ''Ket''-pattern - featuring it in its classic ''Combat Evolved'' design style with two [[sensor vane]]s and a smooth hull. This may indicate that the ''Elefen''-pattern battlecruiser is in fact the battlecruiser design seen in ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo: Reach|Reach]]'' - though thus far no source has explicitly confirmed as such. | |||
