The '''''Star Charter''-class colony support ship''' is a medium cargo transport used by the [[UNSC]] since at least [[2431]]. Several such vessels were used to colonize [[Meridian]]. In [[2548]], a handful of the ships were sent to the other side of [[Hestia V]] to escape the [[Covenant]] during [[Battle of Meridian|their first assault]], and were recalled when the [[Liang Dortmund Corporation]] recolonized the planet after [[Human-Covenant War|the war]]. [[Meridian 5-Alpha|One]] of the ships was even used to power the mining town [[Meridian Station]], but was left in a heavily damaged state after a [[Guardian]] awakening.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/meridian-5-alpha '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Meridian 5-Alpha'']</ref>
 
==Overview==
===Design details===
''Star Charters'' are small colony ships, often employed to support colonial settlement and [[terraforming]] alongside a larger ship such as a {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}. They are often deployed attached underslung to ''Phoenix''-class ships or deployed attached to {{Class|Brumal|mast}}s. Upon reaching their destination, they are landed on the planetary surface for use as subsidence hubs - offering protection from the elements and shelter for the settlers.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
