| ==Production notes==
| | The '''UNSC ''Andraste''''' was a [[UNSC Navy]] vessel attached to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]], featured in concept art for ''[[Halo 3]]''.<ref>[http://www.isaachannaford.com/2011/01/halo-3-manualpromotional-sketches-and.html '''Isaac Hannaford''': ''Halo 3 manual/promotional sketches and the Frigate Andraste'']</ref> Concept art for this vessel was shown in the book ''[[Art of Halo 3]]'', as an early concept of what would evolve into the frigate {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}.<ref>'''[[Art of Halo 3]]''', ''page 37''</ref> The name is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Andraste|Andraste]], a Celtic war goddess.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Andraste|''Andraste'' on '''Wikipedia''']]</ref> |
| {{Main|Cut Halo 3 vehicles#Frigates}}
| | |
| The ''Andraste'' was originally concepted out during the [[Development of Halo 3|production]] of ''[[Halo 3]]'' by artist [[Isaac Hannaford]]. At the time, the design was intended to be used for the {{Class|Charon|light frigate}} featured in the final game, {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}. The artwork is featured in the book ''[[The Art of Halo 3]]'' and labelled as such on Hannaford's own blogs.{{Ref/Book|AoH3|Page=37}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/BkOYA|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo 3 Spaceship designs and discards|D=21|M=7|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Site|URL=http://www.isaachannaford.com/2011/01/halo-3-manualpromotional-sketches-and.html|Site=Isaachannaford.com|Quote=Halo 3 manual/promotional sketches and the Frigate Andraste|D=15|M=9|Y=2022|ArchiveURL=https://web.archive.org/web/20110602001922/http://www.isaachannaford.com/2011/01/halo-3-manualpromotional-sketches-and.html}} | | ==Class and development== |
| | {{Conjecture}} |
| | It appears that during the development of ''Halo 3'', the ''Andraste'' underwent a change from corvette into a frigate. ''The Art of Halo 3'' refers to the ship as a corvette, and the Andraste's [[hull classification symbol]] as seen in concept art is K-201; 'K' was once a United States Navy hull classification for a corvette but has since been retired. |
|
| |
|
| The design was ultimately unused in ''Halo 3'', but was later reused in the release of its sequel ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' almost wholly unaltered from the original concept, with a 3D model created by artist [[:Category:Images by Matt Turner|Matt Turner]].{{Ref/Site|URL=http://pro.mattturner.us/gallery/matt-turner-reach-frigate.jpg|Site=Matt Turner's blog|Page=matt-turner-reach-frigate.jpg|D=15|M=10|Y=2014}} The frigate design featured in ''Reach'' was later canonised as the {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}} in ''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]'', with many of Hannaford's original labels ultimately informing the vessel's canon armaments as listed in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' such as the [[M2950 Harpoon nuclear missile]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}
| | However, the design of the ship is unmistakably similar to a UNSC frigate; it is possible that at the point when that particular image was made, the ship had already been established as a frigate. In addition, [[Isaac Hannaford]], the artist who produced the image in question, identifies the ship as a UNSC frigate in his concept art blog. |
|
| |
|
| Despite the ship class ultimately being canonised as a heavy frigate with the [[hull classification symbol]] of '''FFG''', the ''Andraste'' concept artwork uses a hull classification symbol of '''K'''. In the artwork, the ship has a full hull code of '''K-201''' - the same numeric as ''Forward Unto Dawn''{{'}}s '''FFG-201''', making it likely ''Andraste'' was the in-development precursor to the ''Dawn''. A similar ship, {{UNSCShip|Providence}}, also appears in some concept art for the [[Battle of Installation 00]].
| | Due to its hull classification sharing the same number as the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} (201), it is likely that the ship was replaced by the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' in the game, and that the "K" in the hull classification symbol in the concept art was a remnant from an earlier point in development when the ship was still to be a corvette. |
|
| |
|
| The ''Andraste'' was ultimately featured in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)]]'', effectively providing a somewhat canon depiction for the ship in a ''Halo'' source book.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | | The frigates in ''Halo 3'' differ from the ''Andraste'''s design in a variety of ways, including a larger underside hangar. This change may have been made due to story necessities; including a scene in ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'' where the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' lowers multiple armored vehicles from its hangar, and in the end of the level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]'', where players must use a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] to jump into the open hangar. However, the design was more closely adapted to the [[Paris-class heavy frigate|''Paris''-class heavy frigate]]s in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. |
