The Scholte-class missile corvette is a corvette employed by the Colonial Military Authority and later, the UNSC Navy.[1]

Overview

Specifications

Fitted with a good mix of cannon and missile batteries, backed by a comprehensive sensor system, the Scholte was classified—at the time of introduction—as a state-of-the-art frigate. As larger ships entered service both its classification and stature diminished, but it remained a vessel that could be counted upon to punch far above its tonnage class.[1]

Service history

A lynchpin of CMA fleets at the height of the Insurrection, the Scholte-class replaced older Osa-class and Akita vessels.[1]

Now known as one of the main ship classes that UNSC Navy recruits operate as part of their training deployments, the Scholte-class has an unenviable reputation as being reliable, heavily-armed, and rarely utilized in any fleet engagements until the final months of the Covenant War due to its slow boost speed and limited slipspace capabilities.[1]

Production notes

The Scholte-class was originally designed for inclusion in Halo Infinite, but was cut from the game before release.[2]

Trivia

Scholte is a Dutch surname with an occupational root in "Schout," a local official appointed to carry out administration, enforcement, and prosecution duties.
