The unfamiliarity of the design team would them create enemies with each other until they were forced to work together, not helped by the fact that the High Council demanded that they use the most cutting-edge technologies available. Despite being given the largest shipyard ever built at the time and protected by a legion of the Hierarch's most loyal troops, the upcoming behemoth would prove to be a challenge to build.
The Covenant High Council founded the Song of Victory shipwright guild in 276 BCE, and immediately put them to work into developing a viable counter to 'Refumee's forces. While the Hierarchs blamed this on the Fleet Masters of their military, with executions being frequently conducted to encourage their armies, an attack on High Charity itself forced them to take 'Refumee's forces far more seriously. Despite their use of outdated warships, the experienced Supreme Commander Garsc 'Refumee was able to utilise shockingly-effective hit-and-run attacks on Covenant supply lines, forcing fleets to pull themselves back as they were weakened from dozens of small setbacks. Although the Covenant attempted to unify themselves by provoking a war of aggression with the fledging Jehetma, they were forced to fight a war on two fronts when one of their most elderly fleets, the Sangheili-dominated Fleet of Enduring Prosperity, declared they would cede themselves from the Covenant and 'liberate' their worlds. The origins for one of the Covenant's oldest and most respected capital ships lies during the Eighth Age of Conflict, which began in 281 BCE.
" Fighting off sabotage, an attempted theft, and a trial by combat, these new battleships have already proven to have the power to push back against any trial our Covenant will now - and in the future - face." ―Celebrant Hat Dona, commander of the ORS-class prototype.
