Acolyte-class harrier

The Acolyte-class harrier, or fourth-order harrier tactical escort, was a classification of fourth-order harrier employed by the Forerunners during the Forerunner-Flood war.

Design details
Bearing a spearhead profile similar to that of the much smaller, the Acolyte-class harrier was heavily armed to the point of being capable of taking on larger capital ships with sufficient coordination. The vessel's internal carrier bay was capable of holding sentinels and weapon-ships with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Usage
Seeing service during the Forerunner-Flood war, Acolyte-class harriers' deadly combination of weapons and carrying capacity allowed them to serve alongside the Forerunner Ecumene’s most prized starfighters, with their weapon systems effectively equal in power.
