The '''F-29 Strike Fighter/ Interceptor''', commonly known as the '''Nandao''', is an atmospheric/exoatmospheric (A/X) [[space fighter]] classification employed by the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO12|HOblv|Chapter=12}} | |||
The | ==Design details== | ||
The Nandaos are described as having a "dart shape"{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO21|HOblv|Chapter=21}}, and are considered powerful enough that an understaffed [[Covenant frigate]] would avoid having to face a squadron of them.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HO17|HOblv|Chapter=17}} The craft are capable of flying at [[Wikipedia:Mach number|Mach 12]]{{Ref/Reuse|HO17}} and are optimised for swift, aggressive attack runs.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
The [[Mariner]] helmet is optimised for the flight systems of the Nandao, alongside those of the [[S-14 Baselard|Baselard]] and [[FSS-1000 Sabre|Sabre]].{{Ref/Game|MCC|Mariner helmet description}} | |||

The | ==Operational history== | ||
The F-29 Nandao emerged in the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]] as the UNSC's premiere A/X strikecraft, and was often deployed in large numbers and at extraordinary speeds to overwhelm and neutralise Covenant forces before they could organise an effective response.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
The Nandao was in service by [[2526]], with ten [[squadron]]s serving as a part of [[Task Force Pantea]].{{Ref/Reuse|HO12}} One squadron of Nandaos that was in service around this time was [[Echo One (Nandao squadron)|Echo One]].{{Ref/Reuse|HO17}} | |||

A squadron of Nandaos was also in service as part of the complement of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, and was in use by the time of the ship's participation in a [[Second Ark Conflict|conflict]] against the [[Banished]] on [[Installation 00]], in [[2559]]. The Nandaos were employed as escorts for wings of [[B-65 Shortsword|Shortsword]] bombers. By [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|this time]], the Nandao was considered outdated.{{Ref/Novel|HDW|Chapter=2}} Nonetheless, its success against Covenant strikecraft ensures it is still one of the UNSC's primary interceptor solutions.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
