==Design details== | |||
The Booster Frame was specifically engineered for use by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] units and is only usefully operable in zero-/low-G and zero-/low-atmosphere environments. It placed particular emphasis on fast, exoatmospheric engagements, where it used its high speed, maneuverability, and firepower to disrupt and overwhelm enemy [[warship]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}} It has no aerodynamic properties beyond its basic mass and thrust quotient.{{Ref/Reuse|booster}} Booster Frames are deployed via a specialized hydraulic winch system which extends from a ventral bay on a select number of modified UNSC warships and undisclosed ONI [[prowlers]].{{Ref/Reuse|booster}}{{Ref/Reuse|ThePackage}} | The Booster Frame was specifically engineered for use by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] units and is only usefully operable in zero-/low-G and zero-/low-atmosphere environments.

The Booster Frame boasts a number of active protection systems. It is equipped with [[energy shield]]s, which envelopes both the craft and the pilot.{{Ref/Reuse|ThePackage}} They are also fitted with chaff launchers to disrupt [[Plasma turret|plasma torpedoes]]. They can deploy mission-specific equipment if necessary, such as [[Unidentified UNSC scanning device|scanning devices]].{{Ref/Reuse|ThePackage}} | The Booster Frame boasts a number of active protection systems.

=== | ===Weapons=== | ||
The booster frame is a heavily-armed, open-frame incursive vehicle specifically intended for deep-space use and close-quarters environments. Its weapon loadout is designed primarily for "Disrupt/Overwhelm/Adapt" - a technique employed to deal with the twin problems of field-effect [[energy shielding]] and armor plating. When used in concert, the combination of [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]], explosive and projectile force can make surgical incisions in large-scale, otherwise impenetrable defenses.{{Ref/Reuse|booster}} | The booster frame is a heavily-armed, open-frame incursive vehicle specifically intended for deep-space use and close-quarters environments.

==History== | ==History== | ||
OF92/EVA was developed by the Office of Naval Intelligence in conjunction with [[UNSC Special Forces|Naval Special Operations]] and the [[University of Songnam]]. As evidenced by its open cockpit design, it was developed alongside the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR project]] and in tandem with the research done on EVA, or [[extra-vehicular activity]] technology following the [[Summa Deep Space Incident]]. As with many ONI projects, both the analysis and eventual matériel response were heavily classified. Because their overall cost clashes with their expendable nature, neither ONI nor the UNSC have no plans for widespread application or production.{{Ref/Reuse|booster}} In fact, it is technically classified by the [[UNSC Navy]] as spacecraft ammunition rather than a spacecraft.{{Ref/Reuse|ENC}} | |||

During the mission, the Booster Frame showed to perform extremely well against Covenant [[Type-31 Seraph]]s, although all five were destroyed.{{Ref/Reuse|ThePackage}} In [[2558]], five were used by [[Fireteam Majestic]] and [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Sarah Palmer]] during the [[Ambush at Oth Lodon]].<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #5''</ref> | ||
