Two [[Sangheili]] warriors who discovered [[Makee]] on [[Oban]] came from a ''Ceudar''-pattern heavy corvette.{{Ref/Film|Id=Emergence|TV|Episode=[[Emergence]]}}


In [[2552]], Makee arrived in the [[23 Librae system]] in a heavy corvette that appeared to be dead in the water. Makee tricked the {{UNSCShip|Gladius}} into bringing her onboard with a [[Lekgolo]] colony in search of information on the [[Madrigal]] [[keystone]]. Following the failure to recover any data, Makee returned to her ship to continue on to Madrigal to continue their search for the keystone.{{Ref/Reuse|Emergence}}
