Fitted with a prototypical [[slipspace drive]] model, ''Winter''-class prowlers are capable of traveling to distant parts of the [[Milky Way]] at a relatively high speed.<ref name="universe"/> Somewhat similar in functionality and design to the {{Class|Black Cat|subprowler}}s used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] in the early 26th century, prowlers of the ''Winter'' class are constructed with a smaller and more compact frame than other prowler classes. With an aerodynamic frame, swooped back wings, and narrow cockpit, ''Winter''-class prowlers bear resemblance to a number of [[UNSC]] [[space fighter]]s rather than a [[warship]]. However, its design is intended to improve speed and versatility during atmospheric operations.<ref name="universe"/> | Fitted with a prototypical [[slipspace drive]] model, ''Winter''-class prowlers are capable of traveling to distant parts of the [[Milky Way]] at a relatively high speed.<ref name="universe"/> Somewhat similar in functionality and design to the {{Class|Black Cat|subprowler}}s used by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] in the early 26th century, prowlers of the ''Winter'' class are constructed with a smaller and more compact frame than other prowler classes.

''Winter''-class prowlers are lightly armed with twin [[Machine-linked autocannon|M8545 ASW/AC 40mm machine-linked autocannons]] and an aft-mounted [[Moray space mine|CBU-R68 Moray mine deployment system]]. The class is lightly armed because its primary defenses are evasion and escape from enemy sensors. These ships feature an incredibly advanced stealth system<ref name="universe"/>—that includes an [[active camouflage]] component<ref name="blue"/>—created from salvaged [[Forerunner]] and [[Covenant]] technology, allowing prowlers of this class to remain completely hidden from both sight and sensors.<ref name="universe"/> | ''Winter''-class prowlers are lightly armed with twin [[Machine-linked autocannon|M8545 ASW/AC 40mm machine-linked autocannons]] and an aft-mounted [[Moray space mine|CBU-R68 Moray mine deployment system]].
