The '''''Mutan Et''-pattern storm cutter'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=269}} {{3Letter|DAS|storm cutter}} is a class of light attack ship formerly serviced by the [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] of the [[Covenant]], now in use by its [[Covenant remnants|successor factions]]. Once manufactured by the [[Assembly Forges|Primary Assembly Forges]] of [[High Charity]], they are primarily used for pursuit, scouting, and harassment in battle and are regarded as relentless and elusive.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
The '''''DAS''-class storm | ==Overview== | ||
===Design details=== | |||
The ''Mutan Et'' [[design pattern]] are small [[warship]]s at 225 meters in length and with a mass of 41,000 metric tons.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} This places them in a similar scale and tonnage as the [[UNSC corvette|corvettes]] of the [[UNSC Navy]], such as the {{Class|Gladius|heavy corvette|}}, {{Class|Scholte|missile corvette|}} and the {{Class|Sahara|heavy prowler}}. | |||
===Armaments=== | |||
''DAS''-class storm cutters are armed with four [[Plasma lance|''Emri Ka''-pattern light plasma lances]], four [[Plasma beam emitter|''Enteros''-pattern plasma beam emitters]], and four [[Pulse laser turret|''Phot Et''-pattern pulse lasers]]. The storm cutters are also equipped with an advanced [[hyperscanner]] that provides extremely detailed information on any object within range. | |||
===Crew and complement=== | |||
Storm cutters are crewed by one [[Superior]] and fifteen [[Menial]]s, alongside a small complement of ten Warriors led by a single [[Obedientiary]].{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
===Defenses=== | |||
Protected by a hull of [[nanolaminate]] plating, these storm cutters are also equipped with [[energy shielding]]. When both shield and hull fail, like all warships of the [[Covenant fleet]], ''DAS''-class storm cutters rely on active jammers, deception field generators, and auto-repair systems to ensure the vessels remain combat effective.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
==Ships of the line== | |||
*''[[Divine Breath]]'' – Operated by [[Kig-Yar]], engaged in smuggling and [[piracy]] operations over [[New Carthage]] in [[2554]].{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
*''[[Mark of Prophecy]]'' – Operated by Kig-Yar, engaged in smuggling and piracy operations over New Carthage in 2554.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
*''[[Heresy's Sorrow]]'' - Formerly led by [[Inka 'Saham]], harassed UEG and UNSC supply and trade routes.{{Ref/Game|Id=HVTsaham|HINF|[[High Value Target]] dossier, [[Inka 'Saham]]}} | |||
==Operational history== | ==Operational history== | ||
===Human-Covenant war=== | |||
''DAS''-class storm cutters were employed by the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Throughout the war, these vessels served as scouts and strikecraft tenders, prowling in hunter-killer teams at the far edges of major fleet engagements.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} In at least one instance, ''[[Heresy's Sorrow]]'' harassed UNSC's supply lines and UEG trade routes.{{Ref/Reuse|HVTsaham}} | |||
===Post-war=== | |||
Following the Covenant's collapse in [[2552#December|December 2552]], many of these storm cutters have fallen into the hands of [[Kig-Yar]] raiders and the empire's various [[Covenant remnants|successor factions]].{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} In [[2554]], the storm cutters ''[[Divine Breath]]'' and ''[[Mark of Prophecy]]'' were employed by Kig-Yar [[Piracy|pirates]] over the [[Human colonies|colony world]] of [[New Carthage]], leading to an engagement with the {{Class|Gladius|heavy corvette}} {{UNSCShip|Sagan Blue}}.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
==Production notes== | |||
The ''DAS''-class storm cutter was first introduced in ''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', with the [[Halo Story Bible|''Halo'' Story Bible]] previously containing only a handful of technical details on the class. After determining the dimensions of the storm cutter from the Story Bible's notes and [[Isaac Hannaford]]'s reference render of the ship, [[Kenneth Peters]] was able to derive crew, mass, and armament details for ''Warfleet''.{{Ref/Reuse|warfleet}} | |||
