The '''''Mako''-class corvette''' was a classification of [[UNSC corvette|corvette]] employed by the naval forces of both the [[Colonial Military Authority]] and [[United Nations Space Command]], among other [[human]] military groups.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
==Overview==
===Design details===
The ''Mako'' measured only {{Convert|532|ft|m|disp=flip}} in length, and massed in at a total mass of {{Convert|28000|MT}}.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} ''Mako''-class ships were generally well-regarded (in no small part due to their small size{{Ref/Reuse|enc}}), but hated by shipyard personnel due to numerous maintenance issues.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
 
===Armaments===
The ''Mako''-class was lightly armed, featuring two Mark 40 [[Castor naval coilgun]]s and two M42 [[Archer missile]] pods for anti-ship combat. For defence, it was equipped with two [[M870 Rampart point defense gun]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}


==Ships of the line==
The '''''Mako''-class corvette'''<ref name="for">'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 85''</ref> is a [[warship]] classification in the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], and a sub-class of the [[UNSC corvette]].
*{{UNSCShip|Mako}} - lead ship
*{{UNSCShip|Pony Express}} - Recommended by Lord [[Terrence Hood]] for [[Blue Team]] to use to get to [[Onyx]].


==Operational history==
==Background==
The ''Mako''-class entered service in [[2388]], and rapidly became one of the most ubiquitous examples of the corvette role throughout [[Human colonies|human space]]. During its long career, the ''Mako'' was used by many military organisations including the [[UNSC Navy]], [[CMA Navy]] and other security forces throughout the [[Sol system]] and extrasolar colonies.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The ''Mako''{{'}}s maintenance issues would eventually gain it infamy in the shipyards where it was serviced, ultimately leading to the UNSC Navy choosing to retire it in the early stages of the [[Human-Covenant War]].{{Ref/Book|Id=enc|Enc11|Page=259}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Most surviving examples were pushed into rear second-line defensive fleets for the duration of the war.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
Little is known about the ''Mako''-class in particular, but since they are corvettes, they most likely carry lighter ship-to-ship weapons and/or troops, and unlikely to deploy its own fighter support. ''Mako''-class corvettes were also renowned for being one of the smallest ships in the UNSC fleet mounted with a reliable, usable slipspace drive.<ref name="enc">'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 259'' (2011 edition)</ref>


By [[2525]], several such corvettes had fallen into the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]] at their asteroid base of [[Eridanus Secundus]] - used by the rebels as part of their improvised fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|for}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=for|FoR|Chapter=10}}
==Operational service==
The ''Mako''-class was once favored largely in part to its small size, but was eventually decommissioned due to maintenance issues.<ref name="enc"/> Several of such corvettes were used by the [[Insurrectionist#Eridanus cell|Eridanus rebels]] at their asteroid base of [[Eridanus Secundus]], used by the rebels as part of their improvised fleet.<ref name="for"/>


One ''Mako''-class, the {{UNSCShip|Pony Express}}, was still in service with the UNSC as late as [[2552]].{{Ref/Novel|GoO|Chapter=24}}
