The UNSC Walk of Shame was a sloop of the UNSC Office of Naval Intelligence, used by Jilan al-Cygni during the First Battle of Harvest.

Background

It shadowed the ambush that Staff Sergeants Johnson and Byrne set up in a human freighter to catch the supposed Insurrectionists on board, which turned out to be a Jackal privateers.[1] Sif concluded that the ship had a stealth package and was also armed with a single Archer Missile. It is described as having a delta wing shaped hull.[2]

It was sent back to Reach with a message prepared by Jilan al-Cygni with all available information on the Kig-yar pirates, who at that time were believed to be the main comprising force of what would later be known as the Covenant.

Trivia

  • The ships name may have been derived from a 21st-century slang phrase regarding a "phenomenon" in which a person has to walk past strangers and/or peers for an embarrassing reason before they can reach privacy. The ship was likely named as such to imply that it's opponents have to endure a walk of shame after being defeated in battle.
