The Mutan Et-pattern storm cutter[2] (UNSC three-letter classification: DAS-class storm cutter) is a class of light attack ship formerly serviced by the fleet of the Covenant, now in use by its successor factions. Once manufactured by the Primary Assembly Forges of High Charity, they are primarily used for pursuit, scouting, and harassment in battle and are regarded as relentless and elusive.[1]
It is one of multiple classes of storm cutter used by the Covenant and its remnants, another being the Chel Tor-pattern storm cutter used by the postwar Order of Restoration.
Overview[edit]
Design details[edit]
The Mutan Et design pattern are small warships at 225 meters in length and with a mass of 41,000 metric tons.[1][2] This places them in a similar scale and tonnage as the corvettes of the UNSC Navy, such as the Gladius-class, Scholte-class and the Sahara-class heavy prowler.
Armaments[edit]
Mutan Et-pattern storm cutters are armed with four Emri Ka-pattern light plasma lances, four Enteros-pattern plasma beam emitters, and four Phot Et-pattern pulse lasers. The storm cutters are also equipped with an advanced hyperscanner that provides extremely detailed information on any object within range.
Crew and complement[edit]
Storm cutters are crewed by one Superior and fifteen Menials, alongside a small complement of ten Warriors led by a single Obedientiary.[1]
Defenses[edit]
Protected by a hull of nanolaminate plating, these storm cutters are also equipped with energy shielding. When both shield and hull fail, like all warships of the Covenant fleet, Mutan Et-pattern storm cutters rely on active jammers, deception field generators, and auto-repair systems to ensure the vessels remain combat effective.[1]
