The class leader, UNSC Halberd, was launched from Jupiter Station in 2489. The Halberd-class destroyer was first designed in 2481 as a replacement for the ageing Stalwart-class, itself a replacement for the Diligence-class. The class also carries two Shiva-class nuclear missiles. Secondary weapon systems include 4 12-inch/50 caliber railgun batteries, 20 anti-ship missile pods and 40 point-defense autocannons. The primary armament of the Halberd-class is a pair of Mark II heavy-coil Magnetic Accelerator Cannons. Sublight propulsion is provided by four high-thrust E-740 impulse drives located at the aft, with shipboard power being provided by a pair of D5O naval fusion reactors. ODST Brian Hartley then informed the Conquerors Commander, George Wright, that the city of. Service history Battle of Crystal Main Article: Battle of Crystal When the Covenant attacked Crystal in late 2550, the Conqueror deployed ODST teams to the surface. A Halberd typically carries two D77 Pelicans as well as their associated support equipment. The UNSC Conqueror (FFG-124) was a UNSC Stalwart-class light frigate that participated in the Battle of Crystal in late 2550. Like the older Stalwart-class, Halberd-class destroyers are outfitted with a ventral launch bay capable of holding two dropships. The overall hull shape resembles the Stalwart-class with its distinctive "arrowhead" profile. It is 100% light armor construction and is rated for 1.9g.Specifications Superstructure and hull Īt 542 meters in length, the Halberd-class destroyer is only seven meters longer than a Paris-class heavy frigate, yet it has double the mass at 1.8 million metric tons. The hull of the Halberd class is reinforced with 200 centimetres of Titanium-A1 armor plating, with an internal skeleton made up of Vanadium steel. When fielded in larger numbers, Stalwart-class frigates can screen a formation, engaging Covenant frigates and destroyers while allowing more powerful UNSC destroyers and cruisers to focus fire on the larger Covenant cruisers and carriers. A Stalwart's thin armor is its main weakness.ġ Rocket Launcher - 2 Missile Turrets - 8 Gatling TurretsĢ medium containers, Oxygen and Hydrogen systems However, thanks to her lightweight hull, her best asset is her speed, agility, and ability to outperform other frigates in atmospheric combat.
It has a better armament than the Charon-class while being cheaper and better at support than the much larger Paris-class. The Stalwart-class, the smallest of the UNSC Frigates, is balanced between support and combat capabilities. It is best suited for ship escort and scouting duties. The Stalwart-class light frigate is an escort classification in the UNSC Navy.
