Talk:Unrelenting

Class

Yet again I have found that an article relating to this vessel (this time "Battle of Chi Ceti IV") has been altered to suggest that its class has been confirmed. In the past two years it has changed from "frigate" to "corvette" to "stealth corvette" to "light cruiser"; I would like to point out that Halo: The Fall of Reach (or at least pre-2010 editions) say that this ship is a third the length of the UNSC Commonwealth. While the editors claiming it to the a light cruiser have given a citation from the encyclopedia, the page does not state the class of Unrelenting, simply calling it a "Covenant ship". The section on notable Covenant vessels doesn't even make mention of the Unrelenting, leaving even fewer places for a source to be found. Finally, the section on Covenant ship classes states that the Covenant light frigate is some 300 meters long; 300 is of course not a third of 478, the approximate length of Commonwealth based on a later, similar-built frigate.

The only facts we know about this ship are:

1. Its length in relation to the Commonwealth;
2. Its crew seemingly being primarily of Kig-yar origin (they make it to engineering and not one Sangheili is sent in to stop the boarding party; strange, eh?).

It is probably a Missionary ship as in Mortal Dictata it is stated that these were the only type of ship that the Covenant permitted the Kig Yar to command. The size and crew fit this. VARGR (talk) 01:00, 14 February 2014 (EST)

CRS-class confirmed?

So, um... Is Unrelenting a CRS-class light cruiser, finally ? Everything seems so perfect, I can't think of Stephen Loftus making that up. If he may confirm/deny/explain his choice, it would be much appreciated. (The size doesn't seem to match up, though. Would the comic book really supersede the novel's description?)

I see the page has been updated, now. Not sure if it should be the case, since its description and size don't match up with the CRS light cruiser. This is the same reason for which we don't consider the Ascendant Justice to be a CSO or CAS carrier, since it doesn't match up with any of these classes, despite its similar physical appearance. I'd prefer to hear Loftus's explanation first, perhaps he could confirm 343i's stance on this issue. At best it would mean that the ship has been retconned into a CRS light cruiser. Or perhaps someone could ask Catalog what the ship's classification is. I dare not, though. (since he has already retconned Palmer's rank and stuff, you know) Imrane-117 (talk) 11:11, 9 July 2014 (EDT)
