| ==Production notes==
| |
| {{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}}

| |
| 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}}
| |
|
| |
| 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]].
| |
|
| |
|
| 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 {{UNSCShip|Andraste}} was a UNSC Frigate shown in the art novel ''[[Art of Halo 3]]''. It is unknown what purpose it has, but its designation is K-201. 'K' was once a United States Navy hull classification for a corvette but has since been retired.<ref>''Art of Halo 3 Page 37''</ref> |

| ==Gallery== | | ==Trivia== |
| <gallery> | | *The name is likely based on [[Wikipedia:Andraste|Andraste]], a Celtic war goddess.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Andraste|Wikipedia]]</ref> |
| File:H3 UNSCAndraste Concept.png|Full concept art by [[Isaac Hannaford]].
| | *The number '201' is seen on the side of the unknown ship attacking the Ark in the level, 'The Storm' 's ending cutscene. It is possible that this ship is the Andraste. However, the 'Forward Unto Dawn' has the same number designation, meaning that it could be either ship. It is possible the Andraste was the 'FUD' in concept phase. |
| </gallery> | | *When compared to the Aegis Fate, many significant differences point out that the ''Andraste'' is very unlike a Frigate. It may, however, be a Light Frigate. |
