Nightingales are one of the newest additions into the roster of the UNSC military in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-Covenant War era]]. They have seen recent adoption into the inventories of the [[UNSC Air Force]]'s rescue [[squadron]]s and [[UNSC Marine Corps]]' combat logistics teams.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

===Development history===
They were designed by [[Adam Andrews]] - CEO of the [[Optican]] corporation - envisioned as a medical evac transport as a result of Andrews' own experiences during the [[Battle for Arcadia]]. Compromises with Misriah Armory saw the craft's role widened to become a highly customisable airframe capable of performing a variety of roles, in an effort to be "the best of both worlds".{{Ref/Novel|Id=Hippocratica|Halo: Hippocratica}}

Nightingales are a fairly recent craft introduced into service during the post-war era.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} During the [[Carrow Conflict]] in September [[2558]], the [[Surakan Militia Volunteers]] used armed Nightingales against [[Hekabe]]'s forces alongside numerous other aircraft such as the [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]] and [[G77S Pelican]] gunships.{{Ref/Reuse|Envoy}}

In April [[2559]], Nightingales saw action on [[Installation 00]] during [[Second Ark Conflict|the fight]] between the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} and the [[Banished]].{{Ref/Reuse|HW2}} These aircraft blueprints were adapted for construction within ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s onboard factory modules and [[firebase]]s, with the simple designs making for easy construction inside ''Spirit of Fire''s much older and outdated infrastructure.{{Ref/Reuse|CFArt}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

In [[2560]], Adam Andrews used a handful of Nightingales to traverse the [[Glassing|glasslands]] of [[Arcadia]], as he conducted black market dealings with [[Covenant remnants|ex-Covenant]] smugglers. He commissioned three for his mission; two to each carry four private military contractors for his own defence, and one to carry only him and his pilot for secrecy. During his trade, Andrews used the Nightingales to travel to the site of a [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|Forerunner ruins complex]] hidden deep inside the jungle, where {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} had once deployed a [[Firebase]] against a {{Pattern|R'awuw|Scarab}}. Andrews traded the Scarab's location to the scavenger [[Nor Fel]] in exchange for crates of illicit [[Rumbledrug]]s. Once the three Nightingales had left the site, the [[Kig-Yar]] scavengers were eliminated by [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II]] [[Team Omega]] - without Andrews' knowledge.{{Ref/Reuse|Hippocratica}}

==Production notes==
There is a small discrepancy in regards to the Nightingale's year of introduction. In the original Phoenix Log for the aircraft, the Nightingale is noted as a relatively new aircraft introduced during the post-war era of the ''Halo'' universe{{Ref/Reuse|CFArt}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} - a fact reinforced by the [[Halo Waypoint Chronicle|Waypoint Chronicle]] ''[[Halo: Hippocratica]]'', which expands the craft's backstory as a post-war brainchild of Adam Andrews.{{Ref/Reuse|Hippocratica}} This is contradicted by the first level of ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', [[The Signal]]. During the mission, ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s forces are depicted utilising and recognising the existence of Nightingales even before the ship has had a chance to recover information on the craft from the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]]. Given the repeated reinforcement of the Nightingale's postwar status, this article assumes the in-game recognition as simply a limitation of game design.
