The '''''Makar''-pattern light corvette'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=268}} {{3Letter|DAV|light corvette}} is a class of [[Covenant corvette|corvette]] formerly in service with the now-defunct [[Covenant]] [[Covenant fleet|fleet]].{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} Commonly assigned in stealth operations, vessels of this class were also tasked with the deployment and retrieval of [[Ranger]] teams.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | |||

Despite its limited weaponry, the ''Makar''-pattern corvette uses [[active camouflage]] systems to render it imperceptible to enemy sensors, and visually invisible.{{Ref/Reuse|visual}} Despite the size of these corvettes, they are still capable of carrying [[dropship]]s and [[space fighter]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|bs65}} | ||

==Operational history== | ==Operational history== | ||
''Makar''-pattern | After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the ''Makar''-pattern light corvette ''[[The Lookout]]'' was crewed by a joint crew of [[Sangheili]], [[Unggoy]], and [[human]]s as part of an arrangement between the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and the [[Unified Earth Government]] to reestablish contact with colonies cut off by the war. In [[2553]], ''The Lookout'' arrived at the [[Human colonies|human colony]] of [[Losing Hand]], along with the crew of the cargo tender {{UNSCShip|Dark Was the Night}} that had crashed there a year earlier. Major [[Kyle Stallock]], who was stationed aboard ''The Lookout'', updated ''Dark Was the Night's'' crew on everything that had happened since their crash. The local population and the ship's crew were offered a way off the planet; some accepted while others remained.{{Ref/Reuse|bs65}} | ||

This error is carried over into ''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]'', a comic adaption of the novel that depicts the stealth ship as a corvette the same size as ''Iroquois''. | ||
