Hudal-class auxiliary vessel

"A glorified tug."

— Black-Box's description of the Piety.

The Hudal-class auxiliary vessel is a Covenant auxiliary ship in the post-Human-Covenant War era.

Overview

The Hudal-class is a small ship, about the size of a D77-TC Pelican. It has only two compartments, the bridge and the cargo hold. Because of its small size, it is not equipped with a Slipspace drive. It has no hardening against EMPs so one EM pulse could disable it. It is equipped with one Heavy plasma cannon.

Operational History

One of these vessels, the Piety, in February 2553 was crewed by 6 Jiralhanae who were transporting a Huragok to the Servants of Abiding Truth who were in need of some to repair their ship. The UNSC Port Stanley heard about the Huragok, ambushed the ship with it's EMP cannon, towed it into their hangar, killed the Brute crew onboard and secured the Huragok. After altering the navagational records and planting several Kig-Yar bodies, the ship was sent back into space.
