The ship is far larger, with more of the forward half remaining and the aft half alone appearing to be as large as the entire ship in ''Halo 3''. The number of engines has been reduced; rather than having two primaries on the main hull and two secondaries on the "wings", there are two larger primary engines on the main hull and no secondaries. The port and starboard hangar bays have been reduced from five small bays on either side to one much larger bay on either side; they are moved much farther back, remaining with the aft section. The enlarged cargo bay, a defining feature of the ''Charon'' class, is conspicuously absent or is at least greatly reduced in size. The point defense guns have been redesigned and moved to different areas on the hull. The ship's cryo tubes have also been remodeled. From a production standpoint, the ship was enlarged to create a more dynamic and exciting playspace; the original model would have been very small and cramped, limiting the [[Dawn (level)|first level's]] gameplay potential. The more superficial changes, such as those made to the cryo tubes and the point defense guns, are intended to reflect ''Halo 4'''s grittier, more realistic art style.</ref>
