Newer [[UNSC]] warships have these hard points on their dorsal and ventral sides, in case the ship was too crippled to move under its own power. Another UNSC vessel could then use its own hard points to dock with the wounded ship, link systems and carry it away (presumably to a repair platform or safe zone). Most likely the "hard points" on a UNSC warship are magnetic clamps or large airlocks on the outer hull on the sites mentioned. | Newer [[UNSC]] warships have these hard points on their dorsal and ventral sides, in case the ship was too crippled to move under its own power.

Some [[Covenant]] ships also have hard points that can be used by a ship too large to fit inside one of the docking bays, like the [[Phantom]]. <ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 208</ref> | Some [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ships also have hard points that can be used by a ship too large to fit inside one of the docking bays, like the [[Phantom]]. <ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 208''</ref> | ||

*They are first mentioned in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', when [[Cortana]] used the captured Covenant [[Flagship]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' to dock with the disabled and abandoned ''[[UNSC Gettysburg]]''. Since Covenant and UNSC systems are incompatible, Cortana used the ''Gettysburg's'' service drones and the ''Ascendant Justice's'' [[Engineers]] to adapt their power uplinks. It was also the first time that a Covenant and UNSC ship had touched each other without violent intentions.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', pages 208-209</ref> | *They are first mentioned in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', when [[Cortana]] used the captured Covenant [[Flagship]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' to dock with the disabled and abandoned ''[[UNSC Gettysburg]]''.
