The Kmiro'sish-pattern Lich was employed by the Covenant as its heaviest class of dropship. They were utilised in the [[Human-Covenant War]] but were so destructive that oftentimes, [[UNSC]] forces deployed against them suffered near-total annhihilation, limiting information about them readily known to the UNSC. In the post-war period, they are employed by Covenant Remnant factions such as [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] and the [[Swords of Sanghelios]].
