| rdfs:comment | - 2536 was an unfortunate year for the UNSC. It not only marked the fall of the last of the Outer Colonies, and the deaths of billions of colonists and military personnel, but it also saw the near economic ruin of the UNSC, brought from the brink only barely. It came as no surprise to Sierra Space Systems when their submission for Project: ICARUS, the XF300 Falcon, was not adopted for cost concerns. Its reliance on stealth metamaterials made it a costly option, when the UNSC needed a reliable and, most of all, cheap alternative, and instead chose to update the Skyhawk Strike Fighter.

| abstract | - 2536 was an unfortunate year for the UNSC. It not only marked the fall of the last of the Outer Colonies, and the deaths of billions of colonists and military personnel, but it also saw the near economic ruin of the UNSC, brought from the brink only barely. It came as no surprise to Sierra Space Systems when their submission for Project: ICARUS, the XF300 Falcon, was not adopted for cost concerns. Its reliance on stealth metamaterials made it a costly option, when the UNSC needed a reliable and, most of all, cheap alternative, and instead chose to update the Skyhawk Strike Fighter. As the Covenant poured into the Inner Colonies, the UNSC found itself increasingly forced to turn to alternative means to their goals. As metamaterial development progressed, Sierra submitted an improved design, the F/A-306 Harrier, as a supplement to the venerable Skyhawk. With its use of the proven Tarnhelm and Ancile metamaterials, the Harrier was approved in 2551, though it would enter service only in the later part of 2552 and 2553.
