The ''' | The '''Skyhawk''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] fighter/interceptor <ref>''[[Halo: Fall of Reach]]''</ref>. | ||
== | ==Background== | ||
They are equipped with four 50mm cannons, as well as [[Scorpion Missiles|Scorpion Anti-Tank missiles]]. Several of these craft were located at [[Fairchild Field]] on [[Reach]], and one was dispatched by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] to attack the [[SPARTAN-117]] and [[Cortana]] during their test of the [[MJOLNIR#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] Battle Armor and its new shield technology in [[2552]].<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 261</ref> | |||
A newer advanced version became available in 2548. It was updated to launch new weapons systems and was fitted with two modular munitions launch racks under each wing, and featured a 25mm five-barreled rotary cannon using high-explosive depleted uranium rounds. The 50mm nose-mounted cannons were gone, but the rotary cannon could fire eighty rounds per-seconds, and fed from a 950 round cylindrical drum magazine. It was extremely effective against infantry, armored vehicles, and structures. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The Skyhawk is commonly mistaken for the [[Shortsword]] in the trailer for ''[[Halo Wars]]''. | |||
*It has only been referenced in the Halo novels, it is not included in any of the games. | |||
