Considered to be amongst the most advanced warships currently in production, the is a technological marvel. Armed with next generation sensors, armour, and weapons, much of which is derived from Covenant technology. It is also a startling fast ship, both in and out of real space. It packs a punch, with exotic weaponry suitable for close to medium range engagements. However, until the technology necessary for the power systems catches up, the ship is limited to short deployments. The UNSC prefers to use this ship as a fast reaction ship, acting as a pirate chaser, first response, or for pickets.
