The Point Blank-class stealth cruiser is a classification of UNSC stealth ship, the most notable of which is the UNSC Vanishing Point. This particular vessel served in a logistics-support role for Task Force Yama during Operation: SILENT STORM in early 2526.[3]
Specifications
Layout
The Point Blank-class stealth cruiser has a large mission preparation hold, used by the ship's infantry complement to conduct training exercises. If needed, the hold's artificial gravity can be deactivated to allow for zero gravity combat scenarios, including those with floating obstacles to provide cover. The vessel features various hangar bays meant to perform different duties. This includes a "drop hangar" large enough to comfortably hold the eight hundred members of the 21st Space Assault Battalion, twelve Spartan-IIs, and a handful of other naval personnel.[3] There is also a "command hangar" where various ceremonies can be held, including funeral services where the dead are jettisoned into space while onlookers are protected by a retractable AlON pressure barrier.[4] Toward the vessel's aft is a "fighter hangar," from which a compliment of space fighters can be launched. On at least one of this hangar's bulkheads is a large tactical map that can be used to display fleet and fighter movements.[2] Finally, the Point Blank-class stealth cruiser sports multiple small maintenance hangars where hardware can be worked on and repaired.[5]
Countermeasures and compliment
The Point Blank-class stealth cruiser possesses communications jamming technology capable of blocking all outbound communications from a targeted area, provided the opposing party does not make use of anti-jamming or delayed transmission technology to counteract this.[6] During one mission, a Point Blank-class stealth cruiser was witnessed deploying a compliment of at least twenty S-14 Baselards.[2]
History
In early 2526, the Point Blank-class stealth cruiser UNSC Vanishing Point acted as the logistics-support vessel of Task Force Yama.[3] It helped coordinate various missions during Operation: SILENT STORM, including battles at Seoba,[7] Biko,[5] Etalan,[2] and Zhoist.[citation needed]
