R'sisho-pattern Tick: Difference between revisions

The Tick is a [[boarding craft]] similar in nature to the {{Pattern|Brhi Xur|Leech}}, and is such only intended for use as a specialised [[dropship]] in [[naval boarding]] actions. Due to the overwhelming disparity of firepower found on [[Covenant starship]]s, such actions are generally a rarity (especially during the [[Human-Covenant War]]), and generally occur only at the edict of a [[fleetmaster]] or [[San'Shyuum]] official.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Unlike the Leech, the Tick has very little in common with the [[Spirit]] dropship family and has no armaments to speak of, instead relying on its high-thrust [[impulse drive]]s to navigate space at bone-crushing accelerations.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Due to the Tick's size, it is sometimes unsuitable for deployment in confined spaces; in these situations, the Leech or specialised [[Phantom]] conversions bearing docking connectors may be used instead.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}}
