==Design details== | |||
Virtually identical in outward appearance to the [[Type-29 Shadow]], it is nonetheless a distinct vehicle, most conspicuously distinguished by its flight capability and featuring enclosed cockpits across the vehicle, unlike the standard Shadow. It has a small cargo capacity and has been described as "about as dangerous as a toothpick".{{Ref/Comic|Id=esc|HE|Issue=[[Halo: Escalation Issue 3|#3]]}} It seemingly appears to share the same size as the Shadow, and as well as equipped with at least one [[heavy plasma cannon]] at its summit.{{Ref/Reuse|esc}} As such, the cargo tug may be likely considered an aircraft configuration and variant for the Type-29 Shadow. | |||
