'''UNSC ''Starry Night''''' was a {{Class|Razor|prowler}} commanded by [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Halima Ascot]] of the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS1|HSS|Chapter=1}} The vessel acted as the [[flagship]] of both [[Night Flight]] and [[Task Force Yama]] during the opening events of [[Operation: SILENT STORM]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS13|HSS|Chapter=13}} The ''Starry Night'' would be shot down on [[Seoba]] by a [[Covenant]] [[Bloodstar Flotilla|flotilla]], resulting in the deaths of much of its crew, including Captain Ascot.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}}

As with all [[prowler]]s in service with the [[United Nations Space Command]], the ''Starry Night'' featured a [[stealth ablative coating]] that hid its [[radar]] signature, making it virtually invisible in the blackness of space. The vessel had a deployment bay fitted with a tactical monitor on the bulkhead, allowing those within to watch what the ''Starry Night'' could see with its array of sensors. This same bulkhead also included alert lamps that could be changed from red to amber to green, signifying the time until deployment. The lights in the drop bay could be changed from white to a pale purple, the later of which was less noticeable to any potential onlookers if the four meters square jump hatch was opened in space or any other dark location. For those within the bay, this darker lighting would also help their eyes to adjust before entering low-light conditions. In the event that the jump hatch was opened in the vacuum of space, the drop bay could be sealed off from the rest of the ship. It could also be pressurized or depressurized on command.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} The ''Starry Night'' had at least one escape pod, accessible through a hatch or similar kind of portal on the floor of the [[engineering|engineering compartment]]. On the outer hull of the prowler, the escape pod was protected by a large hatch that would be forcefully blown open roughly half a second before the pod's launch.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}}
