'''''Cataphract''''' ([[hull classification symbol]]: '''IX-455''') is a modified {{Class|Winter|prowler}} used by [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[James-005]] during his work as an ONI operative.

==Overview==
===Design details===
The ship boasted an astonishingly powerful [[slipspace drive]], the result of several years of postwar FTL development with [[Forerunner]] technology. This allowed ''Cataphract'' to move across the stars quicker than just about anyone.{{Ref/Reuse|ET9}}

While the standard {{Class|Winter|prowler}} could fit an entire Spartan fireteam, ''Cataphract'' was optimized for James' use as a lone operator with only an invisible AI companion. The crew deck had only one bed with the barest necessities. Below that deck was the cargo bay, a weapons locker, a [[cryotube]] for transporting "uncooperative" passengers, and a [[Brokkr Armor Mechanism]] that allowed [[James-005|James]] to get in and out of his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]]. At the fore of the crew deck was a cleaning station.{{Ref/Reuse|ET9}}

At the top of its fuselage, ''Cataphract'' had a payload bay for James' [[Shearwater]] aerodyne.{{Ref/Reuse|ET9}}

==Service history==
In [[2554]], ''Cataphract'' was acquired by [[James-005|James Solomon]] from the gray market for use in his missions as an ONI operative, serving him well over the years despite occasionally drawing unwanted attention.{{Ref/Reuse|ET9}}

Following the [[Battle of Boundary]] and James' death, [[Lola]] used ''Cataphract'' to take [[Chloe Hall]] to [[Suntéreó]].{{Ref/Novel|ET|41}}
