The '''Spirit of Fire Archives'''{{Ref/Site|Id=Archive|URL=http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Archive.html|Site=Graeme Devine|Page=Spirit of Fire - Archives|D=05|M=08|Y=2018}} are a series of short fiction written during the [[Development of Halo Wars|production]] of ''[[Halo Wars]]'' by [[Ensemble Studios]]' lead writer [[Graeme Devine]]. They were some of the numerous pieces of short fiction written by Devine to support the game's [[campaign]] story and flesh out the world of the game and life aboard {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} for the development team. While some of Devine's work was published in the form of [[Template:HWSG|several short stories]] in the ''[[Halo Wars: Official Strategy Guide]]'' and ''[[Halo Wars: Genesis]]'' comic, much was left on the cutting room floor and later published by Devine on his [https://web.archive.org/web/20180522082024/http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Spirit_of_Fire.html personal website] as self-described "''fan fiction''".{{Ref/Site|Id=Blog|URL=http://www.graemedevine.com/graemedevine/Spirit_of_Fire/Spirit_of_Fire.html|Site=Graeme Devine|Page=Spirit of Fire|D=22|M=05|Y=2018}}

The content of the Spirit of Fire Archives consist of both prose and in-universe journals and logs by and about members of ''Spirit of Fire''{{'}}s crew. This includes a series of stories centred around nurse [[Lulu Hershey]] and the rescue of {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}}, something alluded to in the final game and ''Genesis''. Other elements such as the ship's cat [[Spock]] and the ship's newsletter "[[The Spirit]]" also found their way into the final game.{{Ref/Twitter|zaphodgjd|717100535053025280|Graeme Devine|Page=The one and only picture of the ships cat is in there!|D=18|M=05|Y=2020}} However, due to the unpublished nature of the material, any elements not included in the final game are [[Halopedia:Canon policy#Apocrypha|apocrypha]].{{Ref/Reuse|Blog}}
