A tug is a type of spacecraft designed to tow or otherwise move other vessels. This may be done for repairs or other reasons, such as maneuvering a larger craft in a tight space. They are often small vessels only designed for sublight maneuvering and are not equipped with Slipspace drives. Only one class of human tug, the Behemoth-class tug, has been specified.[1] The Covenant are known to use U-shaped tugs to tow damaged ships.[2]
Oliver Birch, a fetcher, had a small tug, Galileo's Worst Enemy, for short-range fetching runs. The tug had a winch that could be used to pull smaller objects into the craft.[3]
