The UNSC Red Horse was a UNSC prowler present in October 2552 to survey the debris field of the destroyed Installation 04. It arrived in-system some time after the Covenant holy city High Charity and its defensive fleet had left. It was captained by Commander Tobias Foucault.[2]
History
Mission to Soell
- Main article: Skirmish on Mona Lisa
For the mission in the Soell system, the ship's more likable, fully functional, three-year old onboard AI Chauncey was replaced by a six-year old artificial intelligence called Rebecca.[3] Unbeknownst to the crew, Rebecca's mission was to ensure that the Flood did not escape containment in the case the prisoner transport Mona Lisa, which had been used by ONI to conduct experiments on the Flood, had been compromised.
While stationed at the derelict Installation 04, the Red Horse's crew picked up several cryo chambers from the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, finding most of the occupants dead.[3] After searching the debris field for three days, they came across a single escape pod that had been launched from the Mona Lisa, which was drifting in the debris field. Inside the pod was one man who had manged to escape from the prison ship; however, he died soon after being rescued.[4]
Foucault was ordered by Rebecca to send a squad of 18 Marines led by Sergeant Zhao Heng Lopez to the Mona Lisa to investigate. However, a Covenant ship soon arrived, making any backup impossible.[5] Once the Marines were aboard the ship, it was quikcly discovered that the Mona Lisa had been overcome by the Flood. Eventually, the Red Horse was forced to destroy the prison ship with Shiva-class nuclear missile in order to contain the Flood.[6]
Known personnel
Trivia
- The ship's name is probably a reference to one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War, who is said to ride a red horse.
