The '''BLACK WIDOW communications satellite''' is a type of mobile satellite carried by [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[prowler]]s to establish a makeshift communications array in contested territory, facilitating unit coordination and communication for a UNSC [[battle group]]. The size of a basketball and designed for stealth, BLACK WIDOWs can be deployed easily, used to transfer electronic data, including text files, audio files, and potentially an [[Artificial intelligence|AI]].

'''BLACK WIDOW Commnication Satellites''' (abbreviated to COMSATs) are a type of mobile satellite used by [[UNSC]] prowlers, for example ''[[Dusk]]''. They are about the size of a baseball for stealth capabilities.  BLACK WIDOWs could be deployed anywhere and would act as carriers for messages, effectively making them mobile [[COMSat]]s. They are able to send video feeds back to the ship that had launched them. They are also used to deliver files, such as Artificial Intelligences, etc. There are only 3 BLACK WIDOW communication satellite launchers known, one of which was destroyed on Reach.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]], page 300.</ref>

The BLACK WIDOW communications satellite is a type of mobile satellite carried by UNSC prowlers to establish a makeshift communications array in contested territory, facilitating unit coordination and communication for a UNSC battle group. The size of a basketball and designed for stealth, BLACK WIDOWs can be deployed easily, used to transfer electronic data, including text files, audio files, and potentially an AI. In order to eliminate all emissions, when a prowler is in stealth mode, the satellites are put through thermal cool down cycles before being released. This is mainly executed in hostile territory.[1]
