Described by UNSC personnel as resembling a "luminous manta ray",{{Ref/Novel|HFS|Chapter=22}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}{{Ref/Reuse|WPCruiser}} the ''Zanar'' is essentially a smaller, weaker version of the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The design originated as a mutation (albeit a stable one) in the [[design pattern]] of the larger {{Pattern|Elefen|battlecruiser|}} and {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s used in a more general role by the Covenant military—resulting in a vessel several times smaller than its forebears though retaining similar proportions and silhouette.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet72}}

The ship's bow contains a cluster of four [[sensor vane]]s, which are prone to exhibiting aberrations during assembly that result in them making the ship appear friendly to [[Forerunner]] systems. This can be used to allow the ship to bypass [[Sentinel]] installations unharmed. The ship's rear contains the two [[repulsor engine]]s and their control coils. The ''Zanar''{{'}}s control coils require careful fine-tuning to prevent disorientation and hallucination when operating at full power.{{Ref/Reuse|Warfleet72}} The "neck" of the ship contains launching points for [[Covenant drop pod]]s - these launch sites appear to correspond with the four large, circular lights situated on the neck's ventral surface. During the [[Battle of Requiem]], light cruisers were used to deploy {{Pattern|Gloto|Breaching Carapace|}} and {{Pattern|Gloto'kef|Assault Carapace|}} carapaces into the [[Core of Requiem]].{{Ref/Level|H4|Forerunner (level)|Forerunner}}

Unlike the blue-purple lighting used on Covenant military vessels, the light cruisers used in [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] fleet exhibited green lighting—though whether this was an intentional design choice or a facet of the ''Zanar''-pattern as a whole is unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|H4Zanar}}
