Charon-class Light Frigate

This is the new rendition of the Charon-class Light Frigate for SotP2, first seen as the Forward Unto Dawn in Halo 3. This model is very close to the depiction in that game with a few more modern additions and tweaks to its design to keep it a little more in line with newer Halo ship designs, as well as our own artstyle preferences. We kept it so close to the original design as a way to see the art progression from the original games through the 3 main frigate classes, and it gives off an almost nostalgic feeling to see it in game.
