The ship certainly possesses the ability to transport troops and provide orbital fire support, but Jiralhanae single-mindedness has seen these roles filled by other craft. The meticulous care the Prophets took to make these ships as flexible as possible seems to have been wasted on Jiralhanae Shipmasters. As the namesake of the class, the BCCS Vrathek has seen extensive action, first on the side of the Covenant, and then as part of the Blood Covenant at Pious Ascension, managing to bring down a number of enemy ships before its destruction with the loss of all hands.
