Winter-class prowler: Difference between revisions
It kind of bugs me that the UNSC can suddenly travel across the galaxy with relative ease. I liked when we were basically "confined" to a portion of the Orion Arm.

''Winter''-class prowlers commonly monitor former species of the [[Covenant]] and [[human]] [[insurrectionist]]s, precautionary measures taken by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to ensure humanity's safety.<ref name="universe"/> | ||

Fitted with a prototypical [[slipspace drive]] model, ''Winter''-class prowlers capable of traveling to distant parts of the [[Milky Way]] at a relatively high speed.<ref name="universe"/> Somewhat similar in functionality and design to the {{Class|Black Cat|subprowler}}s used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] in the early 26th century, prowlers of the ''Winter'' class are constructed with a smaller and more compact frame than other prowler classes. With an aerodynamic frame, swooped back wings, and narrow cockpit, ''Winter''-class prowlers bare resemblance to a number of [[UNSC]] [[space fighter]]s rather than a [[warship]]. However, its design is intended to improve speed and versatility during atmospheric operations.<ref name="universe"/> | |||
== | ''Winter''-class prowlers are lightly armed with twin [[Machine-linked autocannon|M8545 ASW/AC 40mm machine-linked autocannons]] and an aft-mounted [[Moray space mine|CBU-R68 Moray mine deployment system]]. Though the class' lack of armaments is because ''Winter''-class prowlers are primarily defense is evasion and escape. These ships feature an incredibly advanced stealth system<ref name="universe"/>—that includes an [[active camouflage]] component<ref name="blue"/>—created from scuppered [[Forerunner]] and [[Covenant]] technology, allowing prowlers of this class to remain completely hidden from both sight and sensors.<ref name="universe"/> | ||

==Operational history== | |||
In the years following the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] reviewed a number of pre–[[2525]] [[prowler]] class designs which focused on espionage and reconnaissance over combat functionality. As a result, the ''Winter''-class prowlers arose from this study. One ''Winter''-class prowler—[[ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'']]—was stationed aboard {{UNSCShip|Argent Moon}} as an evacuation vessel for its ONI personnel. However, the crew of ''Argent Moon'' were all killed in a chemical weapon accident in [[2557]].<ref name="universe"/> When [[Spartan-II]] [[Blue Team]] traveled to ''Argent Moon'' to prevent ONI intel from falling into the hands of [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]], the Spartans used ''Acrisius'' to evacuate ''Argent Moon'' after they overloaded its reactors.<ref name="blue"/> The ship was eventually abandoned by the Spartans on the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Meridian]], when they traveled to the world to search for [[Cortana]].<ref name="unconfirmed">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', campaign level ''[[Unconfirmed]]''</ref> | |||
