| '''Fetching''' is a [[human]] industry that arose following the [[Human-Covenant War]]. With the great amount of derelict warships floating in space, the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] reasoned that it could [[Salvaging|recover]] a good amount of working [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]]s. Thus, companies such as [[Warner & Ives]] began contracting "fetchers" to prospect battlefield wreckages and recover usable drives. Fetchers often used [[magnetic vice]]s to grip metal objects. [[Oliver Birch]] was a fetcher. [[Steve (ONI)|Steve]] served as a contract handler for Birch and other fetchers.<ref name="adjunct">'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''' (2010), ''[[Tug o' War]]''</ref> | | {{Ratings}} |

| It is considered important to have two ships available when fetching, primarily because a fetcher often has to enter dense debris fields, something that is not possible for most reasonably priced [[Slipstream space|slipspace]]-capable ships. For example, Oliver Birch had a small [[tug]], the ''[[Galileo's Worst Enemy]]'', for fetching runs of about four to five thousand [[klick|kilometers]], while using the slipspace-capable {{CAAShip|Butterworth}} as a base of operations and for interstellar journeys.{{Ref/Reuse|adjunct}}
