'''UNSC ''Andraste''''' is a {{Class|Paris|heavy frigate}} serving in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}}


==Production notes==
The '''UNSC ''Andraste''''' was a [[UNSC frigate]] attached to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]].<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}}. It was not featured in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and thus it is unknown what purpose it was to have in the storyline.<ref>'''[[Art of Halo 3]]''', ''page 37''</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}}


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]].
==Trivia==
*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.  
*Due to its hull classification sharing the same number as the {{UNSCship|Forward Unto Dawn}} (201), it is likely that the ship's design was replaced by a frigate for ''Halo 3''.
*While the frigates in ''Halo 3'' differ from the ''Andraste'''s design in a variety of ways, including a larger underside hangar, the initial design was more closely adapted to the [[UNSC heavy frigate]]s in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
*The name is likely based on [[Wikipedia:Andraste|Andraste]], a Celtic war goddess.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Andraste|''Andraste'' on '''Wikipedia''']]</ref>
