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 name="ENC"/> It has no aerodynamic properties beyond its basic mass and thrust quotient.<ref name="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 name="booster"/><ref name="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.
