Xyrk-pattern interceptor

Specifications
The Xyrk interceptor can be identified by the gilded patterns on their hulls, a feature most commonly associated with recovery fleets from the Covenant. These, however, have been modified to incorporate a "brain" for a Doulos intelligence allowing it to be piloted by an inorganic controller. As a swarm craft, the Xyrk has been designed to allow it to operate within both atmosphere and vacuum. The craft has improved impulse thrusters that propel them at faster rates (that would normally harm the occupants) and energy shielding. As they do not require organics, they can be carried outside of starships.

For combat, the Xyrk interceptor has twin heavy plasma cannons that will allow them to quickly take down an unshielded craft. Unfortunately, the Banshee's iconic fuel rod cannon was removed due to limited space on the chassis.
