The Ren is a specialized utility shuttle of San'Shyuum origin that was used by the Covenant.[2]
Background
Small and boxy in shape, the Ren is capable of quick, short-range travel due to its four impulse drives and is nearly as fast and maneuverable as the Type-31 Seraph. Although most Rens are not armed, they boast compact slipspace drives which make them valuable vehicles for traders and smugglers. [2]
In 2544, Master Chief John-117 used one while escaping Thel 'Lodamee's assault carrier with Dr. Halsey in Operation: WARM BLANKET.[3]
When a civil war between the Sangheili broke out over Carrow in September 2558, several diplomats of the Unified Earth Government's Diplomatic Corps evacuated the cruiser Unwavering Discipline in a Ren.[1]
Appearance
The Ren shuttle has two impulse drive mounted on "wings", much like a Banshee, as well as two more at the rear. The craft has two small viewports on the front. It bears a noticeable resemblance to the UNSC's Bumblebee escape pod.
Behind the scenes
In Ancient Egyptian mythology, a person's ren, or name, was a part of their soul that would live on as long as it was spoken.
