The Black Cat-class subprowler is a classification of small exfiltration ships used by the United Nations Space Command.[3]
Specifications
Designated as "subprowlers," they have extremely limited capabilities and are used mostly as exfiltration craft to escape combat situations with stealth and ease. The Black Cat-class subprowlers have slipspace capacitor of limited use; the capacitor has enough charge for about four hours. Once the capacitor exceeded this duration, the vessel would not be able to enter slipspace.[2]
Black Cats are routinely used on high-risk operations so that UNSC Special Forces can retreat quickly and easily, as well as reconnaissance, and troop infiltration and exfiltration missions.[1] Each subprowler can hold approximately thirty-eight Spartan-III supersoldiers.[Note 1]
Operational history
Black Cat-class subprowlers were in service with the UNSC Navy in the early 26th century.[4] Eight such craft were inserted for the Spartan-IIIs during Operation: TORPEDO in 2545, but only one was used as only two Spartans, Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292, survived the engagement.[5] After the Human-Covenant War, the Office of Naval Intelligence designed the Winter-class prowler with the Black Cat-class subprowler's form and functionality in mind.[4]
Trivia
- Black Cat class may refer from US Navy Black Cats that serve as Maritime Patrol and SAR (Search and Rescue) during World War II.
