The BLACK WIDOW Communications Satellite is a type of mobile satellite carried by UNSC Prowlers, to establish a makeshift communications array in contested territory, facilitating unit coordination and communication for a UNSC Battle Group. The size of a basketball, and designed for stealth, BLACK WIDOW's can be deployed easily, used to transfer electronic data, including text and audio files, and potentially an AI. In order to eliminate all emissions, when a Prowler is stealthed, the satellites are put through thermal cooldown cycles before being released. This is mainly done when in hostile territory.
