The F99 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle, commonly known as the "Drone Fighter" or "Wombat", is a carrier-based air combat vehicle used by the UNSC Air Force.[citation needed]

Operational history

During the Battle of Mombasa and Battle of Voi in late October 2552, numerous F-99s were deployed in recon elements numbering around two to three aircraft to the city of New Mombasa from UNSC Aircraft Carriers stationed some distance off the coast. They acted as vital air support for the Marines in combat. One of these drones somehow crashed into a statue in front of the Uplift Nature Reserve and its ejected optics package was later found by a lone ODST.

Behind the Scenes

  • The F-99 was originally going to be featured in Halo 3 under the name "F99 Wombat", but didn't appear until Halo 3: ODST.[1] It was featured in the Art of Halo 3 book.[2]
  • Several F-99's also appear on nearby aircraft carriers in the multiplayer map Longshore.[3]
