| ==Overview==
| |
| ===Design details===
| |
| ''Star Charters'' are small colony ships, often employed to support colonial settlement and [[terraforming]] alongside a larger ship such as a {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}. They are often deployed attached underslung to ''Phoenix''-class ships or deployed attached to {{Class|Brumal|mast}}s. Upon reaching their destination, they are landed on the planetary surface for use as subsidence hubs - offering protection from the elements and shelter for the settlers.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

| Four such vessels were used to colonize [[Meridian]] in [[2431]], deployed from the mast ''[[Meridian 5]]''. These four ships landed on the continent of [[Turones]] to establish cities on the moon's surface.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} In [[2548]], a handful of the ships were sent to the other side of [[Hestia V]] to escape the [[Covenant]] during [[Battle of Meridian|their first assault]], and were recalled when the [[Liang Dortmund Corporation]] recolonized the planet after [[Human-Covenant War|the war]].
