UNSC Canterbury

The Canterbury, known colloquially as the "Cant" was a Halcyon-class light cruiser that saw service during the Great War under the command of Captain Gabriel Anderson.
== History ==
Originally commissioned in 2508, the Canterbury's initial career with the UNSC Navy was, while longer than most others of her class, fairly short in comparison to many of the later Marathon-class heavy cruisers. The Canterbury saw action during Operation: TREBUCHET under the command of then-Commander Jonathon Archer. Like many of her class she was eventually decommissioned at some point prior to 2525.
=== Rebel hunter ===
On April 2, 2530, The Canterbury was refit and reactivated, with former Insurrectionist Gabriel Anderson being given command of the ship upon his promotion to the rank of Captain. Anderson was tasked with eliminating the rebel group he and his crew had originally been members of, which had become a "considerable problem" in the aftermath of Anderson's defection.
== Technical specifications ==
=== Original ===
At the time of her commissioning the Canterbury was built to standard spec for a Halcyon-class cruiser, being equipped with four C2H fusion reactors and two primary S-250 fusion drives. The ship's armament consisted of a single Mark III Light Coil Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, 20 12A4D7 medium railgun batteries, 26 Archer missile pods, 4 Shiva nuclear missiles and 60 twin-linked 30mm autocannons.
=== 2530 refit ===
Prior to being reactivated following the outbreak of the Great War, the Canterbury, like many of her sister ships, underwent an extensive refit, replacing her original power plant and engines with a pair of C5D reactors and R7 fusion drives that favorably increased the ship's thrust-to-mass ratio by a significant margin. The ship's weapons were also overhauled, now mounting a Mark III Heavy Coil MAC, 30 medum railgun batteries, 48 Archer pods and 100 30mm guns with improved target tracking systems.
