'''Freighter''' is a classification for interstellar vessels. These ships are neither armed nor well-protected, consisting almost entirely of cargo bay space for their transported goods. Many freighters are operated entirely by [[navigation computer]]s and managed by planetary [[Artificial intelligence|AIs]], however some are still crewed by humans.<ref>''Halo: Contact Harvest'', p. 24</ref> | '''Freighter''' is a classification for interstellar vessels.

The [[Covenant]] also operated freighters. During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], one such vessel was shot down by the defensive installations of [[Installation 00|the Ark]], crashing into the installation and exposing the [[Forerunner]] superstructure underneath the surface. In [[2559]], this site became a point of confrontation between the [[Banished]] and the forces of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Map|HW2|Ashes}}{{Ref/Game|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Ashes}} | |||
