The '''''Lursu''-pattern brigantine''' | The '''''Lursu''-pattern brigantine''' is an ancient heavy [[carrier]] class, designed by the [[Sangheili]] during [[The Former Age]] prior to the establishment of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | ||

===Usage=== | ===Usage=== | ||
The ''Lursu''-pattern brigantine entered service in the Former Age; the earliest centuries of Sangheili space travel prior to contact with the [[San'Shyuum]] at [[Ulgethon]]. Following the end of the [[War of Beginnings]], the San'Shyuum aimed to diminish Sangheili shipbuilding capability and thus reduced the brigantine's role to one of mere formality.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Centuries after being rendered obsolete as a mainline [[warship]] within the [[Covenant fleet]], Brigantines were placed in Covenant missionary and tithe fleets throughout a majority of the empire's existence. Following the Covenant's fall during the [[Great Schism]], Brigantines have since been brought back into service as a command ship by Sangheili factions during the [[Blooding Years]], primarily the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]]{{Ref/Reuse|canonfodder}} - with the former | The ''Lursu''-pattern brigantine entered service in the Former Age; the earliest centuries of Sangheili space travel prior to contact with the [[San'Shyuum]] at [[Ulgethon]].

While [[Wikipedia:brigantine|"brigantine"]] referred to a sail configuration, rather than a specific ship class, they were often more powerful, faster and more agile than smaller ships, such as schooners or sloops, but smaller than the [[Wikipedia:brig|brigs]] used by naval forces, and frequently found use as pirate ships, fleet suppliers and light escorts. | While [[Wikipedia:brigantine|"brigantine"]] referred to a sail configuration, rather than a specific ship class, they were often more powerful, faster and more agile than smaller ships, such as schooners or sloops, but smaller than the [[Wikipedia:brig|brigs]] used by naval forces, and frequently found use as pirate ships, fleet suppliers and light escorts. | ||
