The ''Wuchek'' [[design pattern]] of the Spectre line was designed by the [[Sangheili]] transport architect, [[Dren 'Teconzee]], and incorporated a number of heterodox modifications of older [[Forerunner]] mechanisms beneath its [[nanolaminate]] hull. 'Teconzee's meticulous approach to this custom design saw him modify the vehicle's [[Boosted gravity propulsion drive|propulsion systems]], navigation controls, power plant and weapons array.{{Ref/Reuse|CFLore}} | The ''Wuchek'' [[design pattern]] of the Spectre line was designed by the [[Sangheili]] transport architect, [[Dren 'Teconzee]], and incorporated a number of heterodox modifications of older [[Forerunner]] mechanisms beneath its [[nanolaminate]] hull.

The ''Wuchek''-pattern Spectre will be released for use in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' via the ''[[Halo Editing Kit]]'' following the [[Digsite|Digsite Alpha]] project release. The restored vehicle will only be available via this release, meaning it will only be useable through [[modding]] on the [[Steam]] or [[Windows]] releases of ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and will not be useable on [[Xbox]] console copies. | |||

At the time of its development the vehicle was named the "Shadow", a name that would later be applied to [[Ruwaa-pattern_Shadow|a Covenant troop transport vehicle]] introduced in ''[[Halo 2]]''. ''Halo 2'' would also see the introduction of the {{Pattern|Wuzum|Spectre}}, based heavily on the cut "Shadow" but given a significant redesign. | ||
As part of the [[Digsite|Digsite Alpha]] initiative, the ''Wuchek''-pattern Spectre was canonised and given its current name, along with being restored for use in the final version of ''Combat Evolved''. | |||
