Vernette, prior to it's destruction in 2553. The Dreadhawk was a standard variation of the Marathon class, with exception to the added Weapons Research Lab and the Cybernetics Lab, installed at the request of Fleet Admiral Vernette. Design and Construction Layout Crew Noteable Engagments Design and Construction The Cloak and Dagger's design was started in 2530 and were finished by 2537 by, the then, Commodore Preston J. Vernette. It took 7 years to design the Cloak and Dagger on schematics simply due to the complexity and secrecy of the ship. The ship was designed for one purpose, to fight and defeat The Coveant. However, due to the highly complex nature of the ship and the technology used it in the construction, it took 15 years to finish the construction of the ship, which is roughly seven times longer then a standard Marathon class cruiser. The Cloak and Dagger was designed by reverse engineering Covenant design concepts. During the course of the War, Preston Vernette used his connections with Chieftain Barrabus to not only aquire Covenant weaponry designs and secrets, but to also aquire information about Covenant ships in order to design the Cloak and Dagger to better withstand assaults. Unlike most UNSC and ONI ships that were were built using the 191cm Titanium-A Battle Plate, The Cloak and Dagger was built using 271cm Titanium-B Battle Plate. The Skeleton of ship is built using Titanium-A while the outer hull is composed of Titanium-B Battle Plate. The main difference between Titanium-A and Titanium-B can be measured by the increased molecular density and melting point of the latter material. The molecular bonding of the original formula for Titanium-A and a synthetic metallic compound known as Synthetically Reinforced Tungsten was used to create Titanium-B. Tungsten, in nature, is known to have the highest melting point. Synthetically Reinforced Tungsten increased that melting point three-fold to create a highly heat resistant solid metallic compound that can withstand plasma burning. When synthetically Reinforced Tungstan is fused with The Titanium-A, the result is the Titanium-B Battle Plate which proves to be 15 times more resilliant to, and effective against, Covenant plasma weaponry than the Titanium-A Battle Plate. Construction of the Cloak and Dagger was officially completed at the end 2552. However, not but seven months after being introduce, the Cloak and Dagger was damaged beyond repair in an attempt to retake Earth. The ship however, was not destroyed. In fact, the ship survived a full-on engagement with Covenant designed ships and a harsh crash landing on Earth. Despite the irreversable damage to the engines and other systems, the superstructure remained intact. A second interation of the Cloak and Dagger, known as Cloak and Dagger-II, informally called The Cloak and Dagger, named for its predecessor, was introduced two years later and Director Preston J. Vernette was named commanding officer. There proved to be minor differences between the first and second Cloak and Dagger, including the switch to a full Titanium-B Skeleton and hull, improved Slipspace engines, and two high effeciancy MAC's known as the MAC Mark II. Layout The The Dreadhawk is laid out as all UNSC and ONI ships are: by decks or levels. Either name is acceptable.
