==Background==
==Service history==
Little is known about the ''Mako''-class in particular, but since they are corvettes, they most likely carry lighter ship-to-ship weapons and/or troops, and unlikely to deploy its own fighter support. ''Mako''-class corvettes were also renowned for being one of the smallest ships in the UNSC fleet mounted with a reliable, usable slipspace drive.<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 259'' (2011 edition)</ref>
The ''Mako''-class was once favored largely in part to its small size, but was eventually decommissioned due to maintenance issues.<ref name="enc">''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]'', p. 259 (2011 edition)</ref> Several of such corvettes were used by the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]] at their asteroid base of [[Eridanus Secundus]], used by the rebels as part of their improvised fleet.<ref name="for"/>

One ''Mako''-class, the {{UNSCShip|Pony Express}}, was still in service with the UNSC as late as [[2552]].<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', Chapter 24</ref>
