This '''transport craft''' is a type of civilian transport ship.


This '''Egret Spaceliner''' is a type of [[civilian]] [[Civilian vehicles|transport]] aerospace ship.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
==Specifications==
 
The passenger capacity of these vessels is unknown, but it is known that they can accommodate at least 600 people; on their undercarriage they are capable of hauling up to five massive cargo containers, likely for storing luggage, and in the event of an evacuation, provisions and munitions. The cargo container has the following dimensions: length={{Convert|17.63|ft|m|sp=us|sigfig=3|disp=flip}}, width={{Convert|39.41|ft|m|sp=us|sigfig=3|disp=flip}}, and height={{Convert|21.42|ft|m|sp=us|sigfig=3|disp=flip}}.<ref name="ReachGameData"/>

==Service history==
==History==
===Civilian usage===
In use during the [[Battle of Tribute]] and the [[Fall of Reach]], at least five were used to evacuate both [[UNSC Army|soldiers]] and [[civilian]]s from [[New Alexandria]] during the [[Covenant]] invasion Reach. During this evacuation, [[6 Echo 2|one]] of these ships was destroyed upon take-off from the [[New Alexandria Starport]]. The craft were under attack from Covenant ground forces and were close to being overrun while an {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} over the starport prevented them from taking off. As the situation got desperate, [[SPARTAN-B312]] fired a missile battery at the corvette, severely damaging it and forcing the corvette to retreat, just in time for the transports which were able to take off and get to safety.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> Around this time, such craft were used to evacuate the populace of [[Casbah|Casbah City]], [[Tribute]], another planet in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]].<ref>'''Halo 4''', multiplayer map ''[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]''</ref>
As a civilian starliner, the Egret was the single-most common civilian transport found in the [[Inner Colonies|core worlds]]. During the [[Siege of the Inner Colonies]], they were often shot down by [[Covenant]] forces while attempting to evacuate civilians from cities under attack.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


===Attacks in the Epsilon Eridani system===
There were also several dozen of these transports in the [[Asźod ship breaking yards]], apparently decommissioned like the [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and cruisers seen near them.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', Firefight level ''[[Holdout]]''</ref>
In use during the [[Battle of Tribute]] and the [[Fall of Reach]], at least five were used to evacuate both [[UNSC Army|soldiers]] and [[civilian]]s from [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] during the [[Covenant]] invasion of Reach. [[Siege of New Alexandria|During this evacuation]], [[6 Echo 2|one]] of these ships was destroyed upon take-off from the [[New Alexandria Starport]]. The craft were under attack from Covenant ground forces and were close to being overrun, while an {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} over the starport prevented them from taking off. As the situation got desperate, [[SPARTAN-B312]] fired a missile battery at the corvette, severely damaging it and forcing the corvette to retreat, just in time for the transports which were able to take off and get to safety.{{Ref/Level|Id=exodus|Halo: Reach|[[Exodus]]}} Around this time, such craft were used to evacuate the populace of [[Casbah]] [[City]], [[Tribute]], another [[planet]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]].{{Ref/Map|Id=landfall|Halo 4|[[Landfall (level)|Landfall]]}}


===Decommissioned ships===
During the peace negotiations between the [[Sangheili]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] in [[2558]], the transport craft ''[[DS-004]]'' served as a [[diplomatic shuttle]] for the ambassadors, transporting them to the surface of [[Ealen IV]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #1''</ref>
At some point prior to [[2552#August|August 2552]], several dozen of these transports were decommissioned in the [[Asźod ship breaking yards]], like the [[UNSC frigate|frigates]] and cruisers seen near them.{{Ref/Level|Halo: Reach|[[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn]]}}{{Ref/FFMap|[[Halo: Reach]]|[[Holdout]]}}
