The F-29 Strike Fighter/ Interceptor, commonly known as the Nandao, is an atmospheric/exoatmospheric (A/X) space fighter classification employed by the United Nations Space Command.[1][2]
Design details[edit]
The Nandaos are described as having a "dart shape"[3], and are considered powerful enough that an understaffed Covenant frigate would avoid having to face a squadron of them.[4] The craft are capable of flying at Mach 12[4] and are optimised for swift, aggressive attack runs.[1]
The Mariner helmet is optimised for the flight systems of the Nandao, alongside those of the Baselard and Sabre.[5]
Operational history[edit]
The F-29 Nandao emerged in the early years of the Human-Covenant War as the UNSC's premiere A/X strikecraft, and was often deployed in large numbers and at extraordinary speeds to overwhelm and neutralise Covenant forces before they could organise an effective response.[1]
The Nandao was in service by 2526, with ten squadrons serving as a part of Task Force Pantea.[2] One squadron of Nandaos that was in service around this time was Echo One.[4]
A squadron of Nandaos was also in service as part of the complement of UNSC Spirit of Fire, and was in use by the time of the ship's participation in a conflict against the Banished on Installation 00, in 2559. The Nandaos were employed as escorts for wings of Shortsword bombers. By this time, the Nandao was considered outdated.[6] Nonetheless, its success against Covenant strikecraft ensures it is still one of the UNSC's primary interceptor solutions.[1]
Trivia[edit]
A Nandao is a type of Chinese sword.
