Halcyon-class Light Cruiser

Besides the eponymous ring that gives Halo its name, one of the very first things players are greeted by in the series is the lumbering passage of the Pillar of Autumn, a Halcyon-class light cruiser. Our rendition of this class of ship is a love letter not only to the design that started it all but also to the legacy of the series as a whole and to artists like Lorraine McLees who inspired us all.
