The '''''Scholte''-class missile corvette''' is a [[UNSC corvette|corvette]] employed by the [[Colonial Military Authority]] and later, the [[United Nations Space Command]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CFFoundations|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-foundations|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Foundations|D=12|M=01|Y=2022}}

==Overview==
===Design details===
Fitted with a good mix of cannon and missile batteries, backed by a comprehensive sensor system, the ''Scholte'' was classified—at the time of introduction into the [[CMA Navy]]'s fleet—as a state-of-the-art [[UNSC frigate|frigate]]. As larger ships entered service both its classification and stature diminished, but it remained a vessel that could be counted upon to punch far above its tonnage class.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFoundations}}

==Service history==
A lynchpin of CMA fleets at the height of the Insurrection, the ''Scholte''-class replaced older [[Osa-class|''Osa''-class]] and [[Akita-class|''Akita'']] vessels.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFoundations}}

Now known as one of the main ship classes that [[UNSC Navy]] recruits operate as part of their training deployments, the ''Scholte''-class has an unenviable reputation as being reliable, heavily-armed, and rarely utilized in any fleet engagements until the final months of the Covenant War due to its slow boost speed and limited [[slipspace]] capabilities.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFoundations}}

==Production notes==
The ''Scholte''-class' appearance originated as a part of design exploration exercise for UNSC ships, done as a collaboration between the narrative and concept teams at [[343 Industries]] during the development of ''[[Halo Infinite]]'' and the [[2022]] edition of the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|Halo Encyclopedia]]''. This was the result of a fortuitous alignment of interests, which allowed them to leverage the ideas generated for multiple purposes; the narrative team wished to further flesh out the UNSC fleet, while the concept team needed to craft ship designs for ''Infinite'', which would ultimately culminate in the {{Class|Mulsanne|light frigate}} seen in-game.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFoundations}} The artwork for the ''Scholte'' was done by concept artist [[:Category:Images by Zackry Lee|Zack Lee]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PeOmqB|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo Infinite Space Ship Concept Art|D=17|M=1|Y=2022}}
