The stealth ship is used to infiltrate a planet's defenses for reconnaissance, making way for larger invasion forces. Despite its limited weaponry and defenses, the craft uses [[active camouflage]] systems to render it imperceptible to [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] sensors, and visually invisible.{{Ref/Reuse|Reach196}} It also possesses [[electronic countermeasures]], which are able to interfere with the guidance systems of [[Archer missile]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Reach196}}

The ''Halo Encyclopedia'' erroneously identified this stealth ship as a {{Pattern|Makar|light corvette}},<ref>'''Halo Encyclopedia''', ''page 280'' (2011 edition)</ref> an error which was carried on to ''Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant'', in which the stealth ship's size closely matches that of the light corvette, making it the same length as the ''Iroquois''. This is in stark contrast to the craft's original description in the novel ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' as being tiny in comparison to the ''Iroquois'', allowing the destroyer to ram it with ease.

The stealth ship's description is broadly similar to the [[Intrusion corvette]]. However, it is presently unknown if the two are one and the same.
