The Crusader-class Destroyer was a UNSC Destroyer class designed for the Human-Covenant War.

Armour
The Crusader-class' armour was 1.5 metres of Titanium and 0.5 metres of Tungsten. The metals were arranged in 10 layers - thirty centimetres of Titanium followed by ten of Tungsten. This gave the ship extra resistance to heat-based plasma weapons, at the cost of making it heavier and therefore slower in-atmosphere.

Weaponry
The Crusader-class' primary weaponry was it's two MAC Cannons, which could take out a Covenant Frigate in one volley. However, they were also equipped with 3 SHIVA Nuclear Missiles. They had no ARCHER missiles, as they were of limited use against the Covenant. Instead they had 22 Point Defence Guns, allowing them to fight off a large number of Seraphs.

Magnetic Dispersal Pulse
The Crusader-class was equipped with a Magnetic Dispersal Pulse, which was an electromagnetic pulse that could be used to damage the magnetic field containing Covenant plasma torpedoes, reducing their effectiveness by around 30%.
