User:ONI recon 111/UNSC Vigilant

UNSC Vigilant is a Sanctuary-class UNSC cruiser, designed by Generation Technology.

History
The Vigilant was built above Matrebnia VIII, in the Gen-Tech shipyards there. The UNSC Vigilant was the second sanctuary-class cruiser ever built. It went through extreme testing that began in 2575, and finally ended on the 3rd of April, 2578, two weeks before it left.

Onboard Systems
UNSC Vigilant has many internal systems, most of which have legal Modifications built on them.

Expanded RADAR systems
A basic modification, added to many ships, the RADAR expansion system is extremely useful in combat, as it can detect something the size of a marine's helmet and pin-point its trajectory almost exactly.

Increased Weapon Accuracy
The Increased weapon accuracy is invaluable in any combat situation. It has the ability to simulate the postion of the ordanance or rounds and the postion and the trajectory of the enemy 10 seconds before they reach the position, so it can fire into the empty space, giving it a chance of hitting the target.

Medium-class Shielding
After the war, the UNSC attempted to use the elite's technology on their own ships, succeeding, allowing the UNSC ships a better chance in battle. Eventually, it began to succum to enemies shielding technology, so they took the shielding off the SPARTAN MJOLNIR armor, and intergrated it with ship systems.

Full Gravity
Full ship gravity was always a target for the UNSC during and before the human/covenant war, yet until the treaty eith the elites, they never succeeded. The full gravity systems were stripped from old and damaged elite cruisers and intergrated into the UNSC ships.
