This '''Egret Spaceliner''' is a type of [[civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|transport]] aerospace ship.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
The Egret Spaceliner is a dual-purpose spacecraft that can accommodate 600 passengers, and requires 12 crew to operate.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} On their undercarriage, they are capable of hauling up to five massive cargo containers. The cargo container has the following dimensions: 
*Length: {{Convert|17.63|ft|m|sp=us|sigfig=3|disp=flip}}
*Width: {{Convert|39.41|ft|m|sp=us|sigfig=3|disp=flip}}
*Height: {{Convert|21.42|ft|m|sp=us|sigfig=3|disp=flip}}.{{Ref/Reuse|ReachGameData}}

The ship has [[VTOL]] capabilities.{{Ref/Reuse|exodus}}{{Ref/Reuse|landfall}}

==Service history==
===Civilian usage===
As a civilian starliner, the Egret was the single-most common civilian transport found in the [[Inner Colonies|core worlds]]. During the [[Siege of the Inner Colonies]], they were often shot down by [[Covenant]] forces while attempting to evacuate civilians from cities under attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

===Attacks in the Epsilon Eridani system===
In use during the [[Battle of Tribute]] and the [[Fall of Reach]], at least five were used to evacuate both [[UNSC Army|soldiers]] and [[civilian]]s from [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] during the [[Covenant]] invasion of Reach. [[Siege of New Alexandria|During this evacuation]], [[6 Echo 2|one]] of these ships was destroyed upon take-off from the [[New Alexandria Starport]]. The craft were under attack from Covenant ground forces and were close to being overrun, while an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} over the starport prevented them from taking off. As the situation got desperate, [[SPARTAN-B312]] fired a missile battery at the corvette, severely damaging it and forcing the corvette to retreat, just in time for the transports which were able to take off and get to safety.{{Ref/Level|Id=exodus|Halo: Reach|[[Exodus]]}} Around this time, such craft were used to evacuate the populace of [[Casbah]] [[City]], [[Tribute]], another [[planet]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]].{{Ref/Map|Id=landfall|Halo 4|[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]}}

===Decommissioned ships===
At some point prior to [[2552#August|August 2552]], several dozen of these transports were decommissioned in the [[Asźod ship breaking yards]], like the [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and cruisers seen near them.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}}{{Ref/FFMap|[[Halo: Reach]]|[[Holdout]]}}

===Post-war===
During the peace negotiations between the [[Sangheili]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] in [[2558]], the transport craft ''[[DS-004]]'' served as a [[diplomatic shuttle]] for the ambassadors, transporting them to the surface of [[Ealen IV]].{{Ref/Comic|Halo: Escalation|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 1|#1]]}}
