===Hull and weaponry===
The ''Mantle's Approach'' featured a variable geometry hull full of programmable matter, hard light, and energy interlocks in order to change its shape for fighting the Flood and Ancient Humanity. The ship's main cannon was a [[heavy ion weapon system]] adapted from emplacements used on planet-cracking siege platforms. Firing a bolt of exotic matter accelerated to a significant fraction of the speed of light, the cannon was able to buckle continental plates and disintegrate phase-rotated fortifications. However, the ship must reconfigure after a single shot. Another important armament was the [[stasis tension driver]], an array of three projectors that pairs quantum singularity generators with repurposed [[torsion drivers]]. Together, they generate localized space-time distortions that impede the formation of [[Slipstream Space|slipspace ruptures]] and jam all [[superluminal communications]] and sensors.<ref name="warfleet"/> The vessel's point-defense guns were potent, able to destroy several [[UNSC]] ships that were in close-proximity with relative ease.<ref name="midnight" />
