The Accidental Escort || CRS-Class Light "Cruiser" || Halo Ship Breakdown 

Idk of this is an unpopular opinion but i love the halo 4 covie ships, this little guy is cute and the RCS cruiser is really cool looking despite both being redesigned ccs's

BABY COVIE CRUISER! (The Return!)

So this thing is essentially a glorified dropship dropship for dropping dropships where the typical, very vulnerable, dropship would get dropped shipping troops. The Zanar to frigate ratio is pretty spooky too.

I love how the covenant is so advanced but at the same time so completely incompetent. Their largest ship is just a scaled up CAS Carrier, and their smallest ship is just a downscaled CCS cruiser. They have no ability to innovate whatsoever.

This makes me want to start another starsector play through, just to appreciate the escort and support ships.

You might allready know this, but i love that the frigate commonwealth is actually being decomissioned on the level "Boneyard" in halo reach, you can see the hull id on the front, i didn't see it right away at first.

Wait a minute, did I watch this already somehow :/

What I love is that the smallest warship in halo is still a little bit larger than the absolute largest of sea going warships in our world. Really puts the scale of halo in.... Well..... Scale

The little guy! They may be small, but they are powerful... enough for its role. Not a bad ship, but definitely a good escort ship and an adorable one thanks to its size.

Was about to say how this ship exemplifies covenant creativity But her origins are relatively interesting.

I love how both in and out of the universe, the Zanar is literally the result of a production "oopsie". Out of Universe, 343 accidentally made the CCS too small in Halo 4's campaign, then made it a feature in Spartan Ops, while IN universe the assembly forges of the Covenant goofed up and crapped out a batch of cruisers that look like they got hit by Gru's shrink ray. It's silly but funny and I kinda like it.

I definitely like this ship, it fits a nice role that the covenant didn’t have. Thanks for another awesome video

I’ve definitely come to have a greater appreciation for smaller more easily produced and maintained starships in fiction lately especially attack ships/frigates/corvettes like this

I remember I 3d printed these for Halo Fleet Battles; they looked like a piece of rice lol

congrats on the canon fodder shoutout

it's a big TIE fighter and I love it

I love that they took a scaling error and made it a fun lore feature. It’s always fun when devs embrace stuff like that.

The Fall of Reach book is simply amazing science fiction. I really enjoyed the fleet battle at Sigma Octavis IV

The idea of Covenant ship patterns being created through "mutations" is honestly a really cool concept and makes the Covenant quite different to other scifi factions that either "grow" their ships in a fully- or semi-organic fashion, as well as being different to the inflexible religious dogma and ignorance of factions like the Imperium of Man in 40k.
