The ''Providence'' is a ship featured heavily in the [[:File:H3 Script FirstDraft.pdf|first-draft script]] originally written by lead designer Rob Stokes for ''Halo 3''{{'}}s campaign. In these early drafts, the ship serves in the role that {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} occupies in the final game - essentially having been renamed. The ship would have served in [[Battle Group Victory]] alongside six other vessels (for a total of [[seven]]) - others including {{UNSCShip|Madrid}}, {{UNSCShip|Ningbo}}, and {{UNSCShip|Ophir}}.
The ''Providence'' is a frigate classification featured in several pieces of [[:Category:Halo 3 concept art|concept artwork]] produced during the [[Development of Halo 3|development]] of ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is one of two such ships heavily featured alongside {{UNSCShip|Andraste}}, and appears to have been an in-production stand-in for what would become the ''Charon''-class light frigate {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} in the final game. Two pieces of art featuring the ''Providence'' in combat are featured in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint]]. The first depicts the ship alongside another, unnamed ''Charon''-class, in [[Space warfare|naval combat]] with three {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s over a planet while the second shows the ship in a similar combat scenario but hit by enemy weaponry and on fire.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}
 
In the script, ''Providence'' is stated to be a {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}. However, the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' featured in the final game was substantially redesigned and eventually designated the {{Class|Charon|light frigate}}. The ship is featured in several pieces of [[:Category:Halo 3 concept art|concept artwork]] produced during the [[Development of Halo 3|development]] of ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is one of two such ships heavily featured alongside {{UNSCShip|Andraste}}.

The ''Providence''{{'}}s feature in the encyclopedias, alongside its [[hull classification symbol]] having no other canon usage, indicates it may have some element of [[canon]]icity - though it has yet to be depicted in any ''Halo'' media outside of these features.
