Sacred Whisper

The Sacred Whisper was a Covenant intrusion corvette commanded by Shipmaster Hulon 'Budyasee. It served as the flagship of the Bloodstar Flotilla in early 2526. The corvette was used by First Blade Tel 'Szatulai of the Silent Shadow as he led the flotilla to meet with human insurrectionists and to search for the rumored Spartan supersoldiers.

Specifications
As is the case with the other intrusion corvettes of the Bloodstar Flotilla, the Sacred Whisper was shaped like a pair of teardrops connected by a thin center fuselage, lined with rows of blue lights. The bridge featured an observation blister which allowed a crewmember to see into space directly ahead of the ship. At the back of the bridge was a maze of control consoles and equipment stands, including a tactical hologram projector. The hologram projector was surrounded by ten data-collection lecterns, each manned by a Sangheili reader. Typically, two obedientaries would each observe five of these readers each, standing at opposite ends of the tactical hologram. The spine of the vessel contained a contemplation sphere where certain high-ranking Sangheili officers could meditate in peace.

The corvette was equipped with a single anti-ship plasma cannon and a gravity lift system that could be used to move troops and equipment.. Being an intrusion corvette, the Sacred Whisper featured an advanced active camouflage system. Working in tandem with this system, the vessel's specialized repulsor engines would let out only a small amount of thermal emissions, such that any thermal scopes could pick up only a momentary red flare from the vessel during takeoff.
