Harrison. The ship is a phoenix-class warship and one of the only remaining of it's kind. The Crimson Shadow is currently under the command of Fredward J. Harrison. The ship has fought in many of the last engagements of the Human-Covenant War. It is the flagship of the secondary ONI fleet. The Crimson Shadow specializes in two areas; frontline military combat and Aerospace Research and Development. The approximate cost of this ship is around 932 billion credits, due to it's secrecy, R&D program, and large armanent. Design and Construction Artificial Intelligent Units Layout Crew Noteable Engagments Design and Construction The Crimson Shadow was designed by Fleet Admiral Fredward J. Harrison. It took Harrison two years to design and get the budget and plan approved for him to begin construction. In *2534* the ship officially began construction. Unlike, most Phoenix-class warships, the Crimson Shadow is stronger, faster, and better in overall performance. It took eight years for the ship to finish construction, due to it's high costs, technology, and specifications. The main difference between the Crimson Shadow and other ships is that it uses 271cm Titanium-B Battle Plate, compared to the 191cm Titanium-A 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. The Crimson Shadow was officially completed in 2540. Since then, it has been the flagship of the Secondary ONI Fleet. The Crimson Shadow can withstand much better beating against Covenant ships, has stronger engines as well as armor, and the Mass Accelerator Cannons are much more improved upon and can fire stronger than most ONI warships. The Crimson Shadow has been under the command of Fredward J. Harrison since it's completion. Artifical Intelligent Units The Crimson Shadow is equipped with a Smart Artificial Intelligent Unit named Shadow. Shadow takes the image of a female naval officer with long hair. She is entirely crimson and fills the deck with the crimson color when she appears. Shadow was installed after the upgrades when the Crimson Shadow became a Section 0 ship. She is one of the smartest AI's available at the moment and Harrison takes pride in her work.   Layout The Crimson Shadow is laid out as all UNSC and ONI ships are: by decks or levels.

While I have always loved the Marathon and Halcyon Class...the Phoenix Class is not a ship you want pointing weapons at you. The only way I know of to beat a Phoenix Class...is to out manuver it. However...this is the Crimson Shadow...that trick doesn't work. That son of a bitch Harrison thought it would be funny to strap high capacity engines on his ship just to make it more manuverable. In other words...Harrison really knows how to cut down the turning radius on his ships...but that is his expertise. What do you expect? A highly manuverable and heavily armed ship is not something you want to make an enemy out of. I will be honest...the Crimson Shadow is one of, if not the most powerful ship in the fleet. This ship can outgun the Cloak and Dagger any day of the week, it can almost match the turn radius of the Cloak and Dagger, it would give the Cloak and Dagger a run for her money in a race. The only way I could see myself defeating this ship in a one-on-one confromtation is to disable the engines and slow her down. If you can't slow the Crimson Shadow down...well...you are pretty much dead. Alas...even if you can out-wit the ship itself...you still have the Commanding officer to out-wit...and it is not easy to out-wit a seasoned ONI Admiral...
