==''Halo: Fleet Battles''==
In ''Halo: Fleet Battles'', escorts are more commonly used in the game as support ships escorting larger warships. As such, they only have one individual stand, consisting of three such vessels acting as a trio. Most of their deployment stats consist of one or two ADPs being deployed to support a larger warship. See the following pages for details:
