The tactic would be reused at the [[Fall of Reach|Fall]] of [[Reach]] later that year with several of that planet's repair stations and some [[human]] ships manned by skeleton crews, in order to protect the planet's [[orbital defense platform]]s and more valuable ships from Covenant [[plasma torpedo]]es.<ref name="enc260">''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 260 (2011)</ref> | The tactic would be reused at the [[Fall of Reach|Fall]] of [[Reach]] later that year with several of that planet's repair stations and some [[human]] ships manned by skeleton crews, in order to protect the planet's [[orbital defense platform]]s and more valuable ships from Covenant [[plasma torpedo]]es.<ref name="enc260">''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'', p. 260 (2011)</ref> | ||

UNSC ''Cradle'' was essentially a large square plate of [[titanium-A armor]], larger than a square kilometer. When running at full capacity, ''Cradle'' was capable of refitting six [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]]s, three from her upper surface and three from her lower surface, in a matter of hours. When repairing a [[warship]], ''Cradle'' would deploy scaffolds to facilitate repairs and resupply tubes, hoses, and cargo [[tram]]s were utilized. It was crewed by only thirty individuals, in addition to the EVA work crews. Like many such stations, it was equipped with a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] for interstellar travel, allowing it to travel alongside naval [[battle group]]s and provide immediate refits for damaged vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|for181}} ''Cradle'' was slower than the warships in the [[UNSC Navy]]'s fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|for216}} | UNSC ''Cradle'' was essentially a large square plate of [[titanium-A armor]], larger than a square kilometer.
