Low-detail models of the ''Strident''-class are seen in the background on the ''Halo 4'' level ''[[Midnight]]''.<ref name="Bulletin">[https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-5-14-14 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 5.14.14'']</ref> These ships are intended to appear only in the background, but exploiting a [[Midnight | Low-detail models of the ''Strident''-class are seen in the background on the ''Halo 4'' level ''[[Midnight]]''.<ref name="Bulletin">[https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-5-14-14 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''The Halo Bulletin 5.14.14'']</ref> These ships are intended to appear only in the background, but exploiting a [[Midnight vacation|glitch]] allows the player to examine these vessels up close, along with two other theretofore-[[Vindication-class light battleship|unseen]] [[Poseidon-class light carrier|classes]]. Because these ships are intended to appear only as scenery, they are rendered as brushes rather than level geometry; as such, the player can fly the [[Broadsword]] through them without harm. This model bears several structural differences to the final model seen in ''Spartan Ops''; it is lighter in coloration, similar to the other ships of [[Battlegroup Dakota]], and the bridge section is sleeker, shorter, and located farther aft. | ||
A ''Strident''-class frigate in ''[[Halo: Initiation]]'' is depicted in the likeness of the lower-quality in-game model rather than the high-detail one in ''Spartan Ops''. Curiously, a campaign-style ''Strident'' is shown alongside two canonically designed ''Strident''s at the end of ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'' #7. It is possible that these are different models, though they may just have been mistaken for separate ship designs. | A ''Strident''-class frigate in ''[[Halo: Initiation]]'' is depicted in the likeness of the lower-quality in-game model rather than the high-detail one in ''Spartan Ops''.
