{{Quote|[[Dragon X-ray]], it looks like all I've got available at this time is the UNSC ''Aegis Fate''.|[[Blue-Delta]].}}
The '''UNSC ''Aegis Fate''''' ([[hull classification symbol|FFG-307]]) is a {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}} [[UNSC frigate|light frigate]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Map|Id=Sandtrap|Halo 3|[[Sandtrap]]}}

==Operational history==
===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|Fall of  Reach}}
The UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of [[2552]]. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for [[Dragon X-ray]], though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.{{Ref/Game|Halo: Reach|Detail=''[[Courtyard]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Courtyard|radio conversation]]}}

===Post-Reach===
{{Main|Sandtrap}}
After escaping Reach, the ''Aegis Fate'' was deployed to an abandoned [[Jiralhanae]] excavation site on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Site|Id=postmortem|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Sense of Scale - Postmortem|Detail=A postmortem anaylsis of Sandtrap.}}<ref group="note" name="waypoint">In Bungie's [https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem Sandtrap postmortem], a section of Sandtrap's design document reads ''"Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework."''. During development of ''Halo 3'', "Waypoint" was the name given for the structure that would come to be known as The Ark.</ref> It deployed at least one [[Albatross]] to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|Sandtrap}}

==Production notes==
Prior to ''Halo 3''{{'}}s release, the ''Aegis Fate'' was thought to be a UNSC [[wikipedia:battlecruiser|battlecruiser]], as descriptions found in the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' described it as such.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937|Site=1up.com|Page=Halo 3 Info Revealed Through Beta Code, Mag Scans}}

In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the radio conversation mentioning ''Aegis Fate'' was on ''[[Overlook]]''<ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref> before being moved to ''[[Courtyard]]'' in the retail release.

In the now-cancelled game ''[[Halo Online]]'', the ''Aegis Fate'' was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map ''[[Reactor (Halo Online map)|Reactor]]''.

==Trivia==
*The ''Aegis Fate'' is prominently featured in the northeastern{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]|Page=??}} patch of unclouded sky on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map Sandtrap.
*''[[Wikipedia:Aegis|Aegis]]'' was name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. It was originally Zeus', which he made from the hide of a goat who raised him.
