===Design details=== | |||
Voidpiercers are equipped with two [[sensor vane]]s located on the nose of the ship, with three [[repulsor engine]]s located on the aft. The engines arranged in a triangular formation, with the topmost engine resting inside a carapace protruding from the dorsal hull of the ship, while the other two are integrated into the regular spaceframe. The overall profile of the ship bears heavy resemblance to the [[Covenant cruiser|cruisers]] of the Covenant's later years - in particular the elongated hull of the {{Pattern|Varric|heavy cruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|BCArt}} | |||
===Development history=== | ===Development history=== | ||
Voidpiercers were developed during the early years of the fledgling Covenant empire, created as a joint design of both [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]] origin as one of the first truly collaborative engineering efforts between the newly-united species. The voidpiercer was developed during an era in which the Covenant's civil and military infrastructure was not yet formalised - as such it was designed with a broad multi-role scope in mind, as opposed to the extreme specialisation of later ships the empire would develop.{{Ref/Reuse|CFEklund}} | Voidpiercers were developed during the early years of the fledgling Covenant empire, created as a joint design of both [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]] origin as one of the first truly collaborative engineering efforts between the newly-united species.
