| | '''''Black Cat''-class Subprowlers''' are a classification of small exfiltration ships within the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Designated as "sub-prowlers," they have extremely limited capabilities and are used mostly as exfiltration craft to escape combat situations with stealth and ease. The ships have [[Slipspace]] capacitors but only enough charge to use them for about four hours. Black Cats are routinely used on high-risk ops so that UNSC Special Forces can retreat quickly and easily. Each subprowler can hold approximately 38 [[SPARTAN-III]]s. |

| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| Designated as "subprowlers," they have extremely limited capabilities and are used mostly as exfiltration craft to escape combat situations with stealth and ease. The ''Black Cat''-class subprowlers have [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace capacitor]] of limited use; the capacitor has enough charge for about four hours. Once the capacitor exceeded this duration, the vessel would not be able to enter slipspace.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}} | |
| | |
| ''Black Cats'' are routinely used on high-risk operations so that [[UNSC Special Forces]] can retreat quickly and easily, as well as reconnaissance, and troop infiltration and exfiltration missions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} Each subprowler can hold approximately thirty-eight [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III supersoldiers]].{{Ref/Note|Id=Troops|1=300 Spartans / 8 subprowlers = 37.5 (or 38) Spartans per subprowler}}

| ==Operational history==
| |
| ''Black Cat''-class subprowlers were in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] in the early 26th century.{{Ref/Site|Id=acrisius|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/oni-acrisius|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=ONI Acrisius|D=30|M=06|Y=2021}} Eight such craft were inserted for the Spartan-IIIs during [[Operation: TORPEDO]] in [[2545]], but only one was used as only two Spartans, [[Lucy-B091]] and [[Tom-B292]], survived the engagement.{{Ref/Reuse|GoO}} After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] designed the {{Class|Winter|prowler}} with the ''Black Cat''-class subprowler's form and functionality in mind.{{Ref/Reuse|acrisius}}

| | Eight such craft were inserted for the [[Spartan-III]]s during [[Operation: TORPEDO]], but only one was used because only two Spartans survived the engagement. |
