The Sahara-class heavy prowler[1] is a class of stealth vessel in the UNSC Navy.
Specifications
Design details
Like most prowlers, the Sahara-class is equipped with stealth systems that mask the ship from both visual and sensor detection. These systems double as an active camouflage, leaving the prowler nearly invisible to the naked eye.[2]
Armament
Since prowlers usually avoid combat, besides active combat monitoring and recording, the armaments and weapon systems on a Sahara-class prowler is limited. They are armed with several XEV9-Matos Nonlinear Pulse Cannons, allowing the prowlers to protect themselves if they are attacked. Sahara-class prowlers are usually equipped with at least one M947 Shiva Nuclear Delivery System. The main armament of the prowler is its M441 Hornet Remote Explosive System. With the mines, the prowlers lay out minefields in space for enemy ships to unknowingly enter.[1]
Operational history
In 2558, the Sahara-class prowler UNSC Aladdin was used to transport Dr. Catherine Halsey, incarcerated by ONI for war crimes, to the UNSC Infinity.[2]
Ships of the line
- UNSC Aladdin - Transported Dr. Catherine Halsey to the UNSC Infinity in 2558.
- UNSC Sahara - The lead ship of the class.
Trivia
The Sahara-class heavy prowler closely resembles the stealth vessel ONI PRO-49776, indicating that they may be of the same class. It is also possible that 343 Industries recycled the same design from Casio Entertainment Studios, the producers of The Package.
