Description: The Sahara-class heavy prowler is a sub-class of prowler used by the Office of Naval Intelligence during the Insurrection, Human-Covenant war and Post-war era.

While it was deployed during the pre-war Insurrection, the Sahara-class did not truly come into its element until the Human-Covenant war. ONI techs reverse-engineered captured Covenant technology and implemented extremely effective camouflage measures. After the war, the Office of Naval Intelligence still used at least a handful of these upgraded variants. One even played a minor role in the Second Battle of Requiem in early 2558 by delivering Dr. Halsey to the UNSC Infinity.
