Halo: Mass Contact

by BattleshipFusou

Thirty-five years have past since the end of the Human-Covenant War. Having reclaimed most all its previous glory, the UNSC exploration locates a massive artificial construct in the outer orbit of a star. While investigating the object alongside their Sangheili allies, new aliens come forth from the construct and bring humanity into a fate they never expected. ON HIATUS

13. Status Update

Not a chapter update today, but rather another tech dump I'm sort of sorry to say. Rest assured the next chapter is in the works though. I'm putting this up now though as some people have mistaken the two ships taken to the Citadel as Forerunner and I want to correct that now.

My classes have started again so I'm gonna be real slow with updates I'm sorry to say, but know the story is not abandoned.

OoOoOoOoO

768 Energy Projectors
176 ODP 2000 ton MACs in Shade turret gravity suspension

The final say in UNSC authority, the Monument class was built using Forerunner alloys at the dysonsphere of onyx and is so large that it contains an on-board facility for producing its ridiculously sized MAC rounds out of asteroids that meet the minimum size requirements. A Monument's most fearsome defense though could be could be considered the Orbital Defense Platform sized MACs housed in oversized shade turret type gravity cushions across the hull to provide them with full manueverability and accuracy during intense actions.

OoOoO

Class: SBN class Super Battleship
Length: 67,895 meters
Height: 11,007 meters
Width: 25,391 meters

Weapons:
1,750 Energy Projectors
18,900 Plasma Torpedoes
233,700 Pulse Laser Turrets
250 PLAR Turrets
17,590 Onager Mass Accelerator Point Defense Turrets

Propulsion: 7 Fusion powered engines, three at stern, two to each side under the 'wings'.

Appearance: The SBN bears a striking resemblance to the CSO super carrier and the CAS assault carriers barring that the wings behind the leading body are much wider and extend further back as they narrow. In addition, the traditional hook shaped nose of the shape has been replaced with a solid bulb to contain an additional reactor and extra weaponry at the cost of much of the ships hangar space as the primary hangar is no longer present.

OoOoOoOoO

These are the ships under the personal Command of Hood and the Arbiter respectively that have arrived at the Citadel with their accompanying fleets.
