Sinaris-pattern heavy destroyer (EXverse)

The primary offensive Covenant vessel, the CPV-class heavy destroyer is a medium-tonnage yet heavily armored and armed ship formerly in service with the Covenant fleet. Built to be the primary warship of naval squadrons, often being the first ships in a fleet to engage the enemy, it hadn't much consideration among fleet's ranks, as it was crew by personnel deemed unfit for service aboard other ships, who had been condemned for disloyalty or disobedience, but whose actions did not warrant execution as heretics.
Despite this, during the Human-Covenant War they suffered heavy casualty due to tactics adopted by fleetmasters or because they were used in glassing operations, sometimes forcing themselves to make their way through many debris fields, a job considered by many so dangerous; this job, however, allowed many crews to developed a kind of mercenary culture of their own, with many shipmasters offering their services to various ministries to secure artifacts and relics from conquered human worlds, working alongside or in opposition to artifact retrieval teams. This would come in handy once the war would be concluded, as crews could operate on their own - by involved themselves in piracy, scavenging or smuggling - instead of joining one of the many remnant groups.
Many CPV, at last, fell into Covenant remnants' hands, continuing their fight against humanity or other groups.
