Sahara Class Heavy Prowler
The under-26-foot catamaran class is dominated by mass-produced boats from big-name companies. All have their strengths, but none employ the Prowler 25's three-piece construction. Three-piece boats offer more usable interior volume, space under the gunwales to plant feet securely, and greater structural integrity.
Prowlers have visual cloaking, but the Normandy is far more nimble and is able to deploy troops, along with real space FTL, meaning no cherenkov radiation flares when dropping in system, not to mention the ability to move without giving off engine emissions. In a fight, I’d give it to the Normandy. It is, again, quite nimble, carries one hell of a gun for its size, comes with shields as standard if not fighting the post war version of the prowler, has Silaris armour which I’d say is a damn sight better than titanium-A, carries a brace of Javelin anti ship torpedoes, and I believe it also has a few GARDIAN laser point defences, which may help against whatever nukes the Prowler tries to put out.
The Prowler doesn’t have any decent sized guns, if any at all, leaving only a supply of nukes for minelaying. Click to expand.active sensor effectiveness frops off with the quartic of distance that is the square of distance squared as opposed to passive sensors which only drop off with the square of distance. At reasonable space ranges they need to get very very lucky to find a ship like the Normandy simply because at the ranges they are likely to be from each other active sensors are going to be worse than useless.the fun fact about active sensors is that they release energy to see the reflection, doing this means that you are no longer a 'Cold object'.
You might as well paint your arse bright pink an moon them, you'll certainly have less chance of getting shot that way.
Contents OverviewThe Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) is well known for being subtle, so much that it is often said that during the entire war they never fired a shot. Though likely to be an exaggeration, it seemingly extended itself to their units. The Sahara-class Heavy Prowler is the very pinnacle of the prowler corps and carries an array of surprises that forces never suspect.HistoryThroughout the war, ONI always ensured that a sloop was assigned to every available battlegroup to watch both for Covenant forces and suspicious UNSC crewmen. However, ONI analysts discovered cases where the sloop lacks the adequate firepower to distract Covenant forces or attack high-priority structures. In this case, the 281 meter long Sahara was built to address those issues.The Sahara has not only the most advanced stealth system available, utilizing an active camouflage 'shield' on top of sensor bafflers and heat sinks, but also has an array of nuclear weapons to launch high-explosive bombs in the safety of stealth. HORNET Nuclear Mines are the usual payload, and prowler crews often use these to create hidden minefields where they hoped Covenant forces would collide with them and be destroyed, such as during the Battle of Onyx.

Shiva Nukes are also part of its nuclear payload. Lastly, such as Operation: WARM BLANKET, the Sahara can carry elite SPARTAN super-soldiers to perform high-risk operations, such as capturing enemy ships and retrieving or ferrying sensitive objects, as was the case of the UNSC Aladdin.Weapons and Tactical UsageCompared to its smaller predecessor, the, the Sahara is quite the upgrade.
She retains all the stealth features, speed, and a weak anti-ordinance laser weapon. She also comes with powerful HORNET stealthed nuclear mines, and even transports the venerated Spartan super soldiers. With the ability to appear and reappear at will, the Sahara can slip behind enemy lines, let loose its powerful nukes, and vanish before the enemy can pick themselves back up. Spartan Boarding Party: The Sahara deploys a team of elite Spartan soldiers to board and capture an enemy ship.
