Han

Han was a small, Slipspace capable, diplomatic shuttle. It was equipped with cryo-chambers, suggesting a possible crew of up to 40 personnel, and the AI Toran. Though the ship was designed for passenger comfort and had showers and a rotating midsection providing gravity, this left less room for the crew. In addition, the bridge was extremely small and lacked any form of artificial gravity. It had no combat capabilities or defensive measures.

In 2517, Lieutenant, Junior Grade Jacob Keyes and Dr. Catherine Halsey used the Han to study each of the Spartan-II-candidate children, including John-117. Due to its lack of defenses, there was a very real danger of pirate attacks on the Han when it entered the Eridanus system.
