Shinigami-Class Stealth Corvette

In the conception phase during the last months of the Human-Covenant War, technological advancements and the need for a bolstered intelligence fleet saw the Shinigami-class stealth corvette hastened into development. Working closely with a number of Naval Special Weapons programs, the Shinigami-class would enter service in 2555 at the earliest, replacing many of the older Kagemusha-class ships, and would serve during the War of Vengeance. The vast majority of their operations, and even many of the ships names and identification registries are classified by the Office of Naval Intelligence, though annual class assessment reports indicate that both ONI and the Navy as a whole regard the ship as a success, and it continues to serve in the UNSC Navy Prowler Corps.

==Quotes==
*"It looks odd, doesn't it? I think the orange sections are radiator panels - you'd think the colouration would make them perfect targets, but its not like any ship gets close enough to even visually see it. And when it activates the Tarnhelm, it just disappears completely."
*"I served aboard the UNSC Azrael from '54 to '59. I can't go into details since all the missions were classified, but let's just say that the phrase "right under their noses" is an understatement."
*"My lance was evacuated during the Triumphant Declaration campaign, and we ended up docking with the human stealth ship Sandalphon. They restricted our access to their ship to the passenger section, and kept guards posted. At the time, I thought nothing of it - I certainly did not trust them either. It wasn't until much later that I learned that I was aboard one of the most advanced stealth ships seen since the time of the Forerunners."
