UNSC Walk of Shame

The UNSC Walk of Shame was a sloop of the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence, used by Jilan al-Cygni during the First Battle of Harvest.

Background
Harvest's Shipping Operations AI Sif concluded that the ship had a stealth package and was also armed with a single Archer missile. It is described as having a delta wing-shaped hull.

The ship shadowed the ambush that Staff Sergeants Johnson and Byrne set up in a human freighter to catch the supposed Insurrectionists on board, which turned out to be a Kig-Yar privateers from the missionary ship Minor Transgression. It was sent back to Reach with a message prepared by Jilan al-Cygni with all of the available information on the Kig-Yar pirates, who at that time were believed to be the main comprising force of what would later be known as the Covenant.

Trivia
The ship's name may have been derived from a 21st-century slang phrase regarding a "phenomenon" in which a person has to walk past strangers and/or peers for an embarrassing reason before they can reach privacy.
