RQ-120 Partisan

The is a UNSC drone.
==Description==
The Partisan, like it's smaller brother, the Kilij, is a exoatmospheric drone intended for reconnaissance. However, that its where their similarities end. While the Kilij is a rugged drone that is sometimes considered expendable, the Partisan is a highly advanced tool, intended to survey the battlefield while remaining undetected, and returning when the job is done. The Partisan is coated in next-gen stealth technology, and carries an active-camouflage generator, allowing it to evade most sensors. It can be launched from most conventional ships, and launched in slipspace, with a rugged design allowing it to survive without harm. For sensors, it carries both passive and active hyper-scanners, RADAR receivers, a long-range optical and thermal telescope, and a magnetic anomaly array. The drone possesses hardened comm links, preventing ease of decryption, and utilise directed LASER comms that can be harder to decrypt. They also have the facility to be fitted with FTL communication arrays, in the form of Clustered Quantum Entanglement Communicators, allowing for instantaneous communication between the it and it's mother ship, even into slipspace. However, these devices are too expensive for regular deployment, forcing them to be used in an ad-hoc basis. They are so prized and valuable they even include self destruct mechanisms to ensure they are totally destroyed if damaged. 
The Partisan is not just used for average reconnaissance, but is used to scope out enemy positions without detection, map enemy positions, create pathways through minefields, and act as battle damage assessors. Their accuracy is so legendary that two of these drones were able to direct fire from the UNSC Count of Monte Cristo, a Talion-class Battlecruiser, against the Covenant controlled ORS-class heavy cruiser Ruin and Damnation, scoring a kill from a near unbelievable thirty light-seconds away, using the FTL communication modules to guide a single shot that destroyed the Ruin, even with the presence of a gravity well.
