UNSC Cibola is a Halberd-class destroyer in service with the UNSC Navy.[1]
Service history
In 2526, the Cibola was one of several vessels of Battle Group X-Ray assigned to Task Force Pantea, a task force of destroyers operating as a "wolf-pack" unit in the Outer Colonies. These task forces were deployed in the Outer Colonies to independently harass and destroy the supply lines of the invading Covenant fleets. At 21:00 hours on June 3, 2526, the Cibola was an element in the task force over Netherop when the destroyers encountered a lone Covenant frigate - the Steadfast Strike. The destroyers engaged the frigate, quickly eliminating the Strike's primary weapon systems and disabling the ship.[1]
Task Force Pantea was later ordered by Admiral Preston Cole to stay on-station to support Blue Team during their operation to recover the wreckage of Steadfast Strike, later engaging the Covenant Fleet of Swift Justice.[1] It is unknown if the Cibola survived the battle.
Crew and complement
As a wolf-pack destroyer, the Cibola carried no on-board Marine complement.[1]
Trivia
The vessel's name is likely a reference to the mythical Seven Cities of Gold, which are also sometimes known as the Seven Cities of Cibola.
