Bearing a spearhead profile similar to that of the much smaller {{Class|Despair|fighter}}, the ''Acolyte''-class harrier was heavily armed to the point of being capable of taking on larger [[capital ship]]s with sufficient coordination. The vessel's internal carrier bay was capable of holding [[sentinels]] and [[weapon-ship]]s with both offensive and defensive capabilities.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Bearing a spearhead profile similar to that of the much smaller {{Class|Despair|fighter}}, the ''Acolyte''-class harrier was heavily armed to the point of being capable of taking on larger [[capital ship]]s with sufficient coordination.

Seeing service during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], ''Acolyte''-class harriers' deadly combination of weapons and carrying capacity allowed them to serve alongside the [[Forerunner]] [[Ecumene]]’s most prized [[space fighter|starfighter]]s, with their weapon systems effectively equal in power.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Seeing service during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], ''Acolyte''-class harriers' deadly combination of weapons and carrying capacity allowed them to serve alongside the [[Forerunner]] [[Ecumene]]’s most prized [[space fighter|starfighter]]s, with their weapon systems effectively equal in power.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

By late [[2559]], several ''Acolyte''-class harriers had come under the control of [[Cortana]]'s [[Created]]. Three of these vessels were stationed at [[Netherop]] in the [[Ephyra system]].{{Ref/Reuse|Out23}} Others were assigned to trail vessels carrying high value individuals, such as the ''[[Sword of Harmony]]'' as it transported [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] to Netherop.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out4|Out|Chapter=4}} | |||
