When the [[Jiralhanae]] were first introduced into service in the [[Covenant military]], they were typically given command of smaller and older warships such as the {{Class|CRS|light cruiser}}, which themselves were often stripped of technologies deemed too risky by the [[Sangheili]] as no self-respecting Sangheili warrior would give up frontline combat duty to train up Jiralhanae crews. Following the ascension of the [[Prophet of Truth]] to the [[Hierarchs|hierarchy]] in [[2525]], the Prelates were assigned to Jiralhanae vessels officially as technical advisors, but secretly to retrofit these ships for combat and train up the brutes for combat against the Sangheili. Following the disastrous [[Battle of Installation 04|destruction]] of [[Installation 04]], the Sangheili were quick to fall out of the Prophets' favour, and thus the Prelates redoubled their efforts to equip the Jiralhanae for the [[Great Schism|upcoming conflict]].{{Ref/Reuse|SOI}}
