The ''Pillar of Autumn'' was one of only eleven ''Halcyon''-class cruisers to be built with a unique internal frame that was designed by [[Robert McLees (ship designer)|Doctor Robert McLees]]. Incorporating a series of interstitial honeycombs and cross-bracings, it was deemed unnecessarily over-massed and costly due to a series of cross-bracings and interstitial{{Ref/Reuse|FoRC25}} [[Titanium-A armor]] honeycombs.{{Ref/Reuse|FoRC29}} This led to the design being dropped from future models of ''Halcyon''-class ships,{{Ref/Reuse|FoRC25}} and quickly led to most of these ships being removed from service.{{Ref/Reuse|data drop}} However, this unusual framing scheme allowed the ship to function even after sustaining critical levels of damage.{{Ref/Reuse|HCESGuide}} This offset its usage of older, heavier armor patterns,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} which provided inferior protection than what was considered standard in 2552.{{Ref/Reuse|FoRC25}}

These protective qualities were improved as part of the ''Autumn''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> refit in 2552. The hull was upgraded to the latest Titanium-A ablative armor plating, which resulted in great savings in terms of volume and mass.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} Hydraulic reinforcements activated during emergencies complemented the existing toughness of its frame.{{Ref/Reuse|FoRC29}} The refit substantially expanded both the [[SOEIV]] launch bays and hangar capacity, with the latter made possible by sacrificing long-term accommodations. It also received an Omega-pattern bridge with a Tier-III datacore.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Id=Enc22|Chapter=Human Ships, Cruisers|Page=119}} Protruding from its front face is a foremast that is equipped with [[slipspace]] navigation sensors and hardened [[UNSC battle network|battlenet]] transponders. A planetary scanning array is mounted just below its bridge, which is outfitted with planetary survey sensors and probe/satellite launchers. Four compact auxiliary fusion rockets are installed on either side of the cruiser, and while they are capable of a high-thrust, they are considered inefficient in their design. At the very top of the engine cowling is a multipurpose scan array, which contains tactical sensors and an electronic eavesdropping suite.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet}}.
