The '''''DAS''-class storm cutter''' is a class of light [[warship]] and attack ship formerly serviced by the [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] of the [[Covenant Empire]], now in use by its [[Covenant remnants|successor factions]].<ref name="CF"/> Once manufactured by the [[Assembly Forges|Primary Assembly Forges]] of [[High Charity]], these storm cutters are constructed following the Mutan Et [[design pattern]]. Primarily used for pursuit, scouting, and harassment in battle, the ''DAS'' class is regarded as relentless and elusive.<ref name="warfleet"/>

==Specifications==
The ''DAS'' class are small [[warship]]s at 225 meters in length and with a mass of 41,000 metric tons. Protected by a hull of [[nanolaminate]] plating, these storm cutters are also equipped with [[energy shielding]]. When both shield and hull fail, like all warships of the [[Covenant fleet]], ''DAS''-class storm cutters rely on active jammers, deception field generators, and auto-repair systems to ensure the vessels remain combat effective.<ref name="warfleet"/>

''DAS''-class storm cutters are armed with four [[Plasma lance|Emri Ka-pattern light plasma lances]], four [[Plasma beam emitter|Enteros-pattern plasma beam emitters]], and four [[Pulse laser turret|Phot Et-pattern pulse lasers]]. The storm cutters are also equipped with an advanced [[hyperscanner]] that provides extremely detailed information on any object within range. Crewed by one Superior and fifteen Menials, the ''DAS'' class also carries a small complement of ten Warriors led by a single [[Sangheili Major|Obedientiary]].<ref name="warfleet"/>

==Operational history==
''DAS''-class storm cutters were employed by the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant fleet|fleet]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Throughout the war, these vessels served as scouts and strikecraft tenders, prowling in hunter-killer teams at the far edges of major fleet engagements. Following the Covenant's collapse in [[2552]], many of these storm cutters have fallen into the hands of [[Kig-Yar]] raiders and the empire's various [[Covenant remnants|successor factions]].<ref name="warfleet"/>

In [[2554]], the twin ''DAS''-class storm cutters, ''[[Mark of Prophecy]]'' and ''[[Divine Breath]]'', were being used by Kig-Yar engaged in smuggling and [[piracy]] near the [[human]] [[Inner Colony]] of [[New Carthage]]. The two ships had a deadly encounter over the planet with the {{Class|Gladius|heavy corvette}} {{UNSCShip|Sagan Blue}} of the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref name="CF"/>

*''[[Mark of Prophecy]]'' – Operated by Kig-Yar, engaged in smuggling and piracy operations over New Carthage in 2554.<ref name="CF"/>

==Behind the scenes==
The ''DAS''-class storm cutter was first introduced in ''[[Halo: Warfleet]]'', with the [[Halo Story Bible|''Halo'' Story Bible]] previously containing only a handful of technical details on the class. After determining the dimensions of the storm cutter from the Story Bible's notes and [[Isaac Hannaford]]'s reference render of the ship, [[Kenneth Peters]] was able to derive crew, mass, and armament details for ''Warfleet''.<ref name="CF"/>
