Egret Spaceliner: Difference between revisions

In use during the [[Battle of Tribute]] and the [[Fall of Reach]], at least five were used to evacuate both [[UNSC Army|soldiers]] and [[civilian]]s from [[New Alexandria]] during the [[Covenant]] invasion Reach. During this evacuation, [[6 Echo 2|one]] of these ships was destroyed upon take-off from the [[New Alexandria Starport]]. The craft were under attack from Covenant ground forces and were close to being overrun while an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} over the starport prevented them from taking off. As the situation got desperate, [[SPARTAN-B312]] fired a missile battery at the corvette, severely damaging it and forcing the corvette to retreat, just in time for the transports which were able to take off and get to safety. <ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> Around this time, such craft were used to evacuate the populace of [[Casbah|Casbah City]], [[Tribute]], another planet in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', multiplayer map ''[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]''</ref>

There were also several dozen of these transports in the [[Aszod ship breaking yards]], apparently decommissioned like the [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and cruisers seen near them.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', Firefight level ''[[Holdout]]''</ref>
