Template:Ship Class Infobox

The Autumn-class heavy cruiser is a class of capital ship, hull classification symbol CA, commissioned into service with the UNSC Navy following the end of the Human-Covenant War. It was designed to be the successor for the Marathon class and the Halcyon class as most vessels of those classes were destroyed in the war.[1] Many of these ships serve as escort vessels for the UNSC Infinity.[2][3]

The Autumn class' name is derived from the colloquialism for that of its lead ship, which in turn is named for the Halcyon-class UNSC Pillar of Autumn.[4]

Specifications

Hull

As the first ships of the class were built on recycled Halcyon class hulls[5], they superficially resemble the preceding Halcyon class, particularly the Pillar of Autumn after the ship's last refit in 2552. However, the Autumn class differs from its namesake in a number of details, primarily its much greater size. Specifically, an Autumn-class cruiser is 1,425 meters (4,674 ft) long (255 meters longer than a Halcyon) as well as proportionally wider and taller. It has a different number of viewports and the radar dishes are smaller, with different configurations across the hull. The antenna-like protrusion at the front of the ship is double the length of the original Pillar of Autumn's.

These vessels are equipped with energy shields.[6]

Armament

The vessel's primary armament is a single Mark IX, Heavy Coil-45J3d3 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. Secondary and tertiary armament is comprised of 32 M58 Archer missile pods and class sports six M910 point defense guns.
