"Rolling Thunder"

-motto of the UNSC Diamondhead

Commissioned in 2551, the original Diamondhead was basically a remodelled Phoenix-class colonization vessel. Every single piece of ground, air or infantry equipment and vehicles were removed, to make way for the FOURTEEN Mac guns affixed the the side of the vessel. There are sixteen reactors, each able to power a standard Halcyon-class cruiser on its own. Because of the immense power of these reactors, the Diamondhead and its sister ships could fire a Mac round every two seconds.
