The ship had a ventral launch bay fitted with hook systems used to deploy OF92-EVA Booster Frames. Instead of using photoreactive panels for stealth like the [[UNSC Prowler|Prowlers]], this ship utilized a more advanced, bubble-like [[Active Camouflage|cloaking field]] projected around it to conceal it from view. It also utilized a type of advanced [[Directed Energy Weapon|directed energy weaponry]], capable of dispatching Covenant Seraphs with ease.

PRO-49776[1] was the hull classification symbol of a prowler in service with the Office of Naval Intelligence during the Human-Covenant War. It was captained by Lucius R. Jiron.[2]

Service history[edit]

Main article: Operation: WARM BLANKET

Shortly following the Battle of Miridem in 2544,[1] the ship was sent by the ONI to retrieve Doctor Catherine Halsey from a Covenant fleet trapped in a stellar magnetic field that prevented them from jumping into slipspace. Onboard, there were five Spartan-IIs who were eventually sent out to retrieve it using OF92-EVA Booster Frames stored onboard the stealth ship. After the Spartans successfully retrieved the package and the Covenant fleet jumped away, the stealth ship de-cloaked and destroyed the remaining Seraph fighters. After picking the Spartans up, the ship re-cloaked.[2]

Production notes[edit]

In a Q&A for Halo Legends in 2009, Frank O'Connor stated that the ship is not a prowler when questioned about its sophisticated mode of stealth compared to typical UNSC prowlers.[3] This claim has seemingly been ignored in later fiction; not only was the ship's hull classification symbol established to be "PRO-49776" in the Adjunct content of the 2010 release of Halo: The Fall of Reach, with "PRO" being suggestive of "Prowler", but the Sahara-class prowlers such as the UNSC Aladdin in Spartan Ops were depicted as identical to the PRO-49776 in terms of design. Furthermore, Halo Mythos revealed the hull classification symbol of another heavy prowler, UNSC Port Stanley, as "PRO-46328", which uses the same format as "PRO-49776", leaving little doubt as to the nature of the vessel.
