''' | '''Second-order fast frigates''' were a classification of [[raptor]] employed by the [[Forerunner]] [[Ecumene]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=383}} | ||
==Overview== | |||
Fast frigates were classed as Second [[Order]] vessels by the Forerunners. They employed extremely advanced navigational techniques and [[Slipspace core]] configurations to make extremely rapid intragalactic transits throughout the [[Milky Way]] during the final days of the war with the [[Flood]]. These techniques made them resistant to the effects of reconciliation, even at levels which would cripple the movement of other, larger vessels. As such, they were one of the only types of ships permitted to travel through the [[Burn]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | |||
==Operational history== | |||
During the [[Fate of Maethrillian]], there were six fast frigates carrying high-ranking members of the [[Builder Security]]. The [[Master Builder]], [[Faber-of-Will-and-Might]], used one of these ships to escape the Capital when Faber's personal security attacked and killed all but [[Sharp-by-Striking]], the commander of the vessel.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 5''</ref> | |||
