Subject: Ship designs

I had a lot of fun reading a similer forum for Halo Wars so I thought Id bring it to Bungie.net. This is for all the people who read the books and are fascinated by space battles to conjure up a design for your own UNSC or Covanet ship. It doesnt have to be a capital ship, it can be be a new type of hornet or a varation on a pelican. Just have it organized like this:

Ship Name:
Class:
Armament:
Crew Size:
Complement:
Backstory:

Please no ridicules things like 15 super MACS or This ship destroyed 23 covanet ships at the Battle of REACH. It is fine if you make up your own ship class but if you do please state its size and if it resembled any known UNSC or Covanet ships. And have fun with it, I hope the few rules I put down wont infringe on your creativity.

Ship Name: Halberd

Class: Modified Marathon class Cruiser

Crew Size: Five hundred engineers, technicians, and officers.

Complement: Three squadrons of Longsword Fighters, ten squadrons of Pelicans,
twelve hundred Marines, two hundred ODST's, sixty warthogs, twenty scorpions, Sixty Hornets.

Backstory: The Halberd is an experimental Marathon Class Cruiser modified with the same style of honeycombing armor that the Halcyon class cruisers had and the same three shot MAC gun that the Pillar of Autumn had except with two of them. After the battle of New Berlin where it destroyed two CCS-Class battle-cruisers with one salvo of its MAC guns and archer missile pods it was recognized as a formidable fighting force and it became the flagship for vice admiral Didham.

I thought I mentioned it had to make sense. One MAC gun takes up the space that a hundred Serpah fighters would take up.
