Maintaining the monolithic hull design of other UNSC cruisers, the ''Halcyon''-class were visually distinguished by their composition of five hexagonal and octagonal hull sections, each of which stacked on top of each other and progressively grew as they ran towards the engines. The frontmost surface of these cruisers was dominated by a long antenna structure called the foremast, whose base sat below the muzzle of the MAC. The [[bridge]] was slung underneath the front section on a portruding structure, which made it very vulnerable to enemy fire. The second-last hull section possessed four [[hangar bay|docking bay]]s that ran down either side like an equatorial line, and the keel featured a drop bay capable of deploying both [[SOEIV]] and dropships. Personnel made use of lifts, stairs, and mag-rail platforms for quick transit around the cruiser.{{Ref/Reuse|WFPoA}} To evacuate personnel during emergencies, these cruisers had at least 18 [[Class-3 Bumblebee]]s.
