| '''UNSC ''Atlas''''' was an {{Class|Epoch|heavy carrier}}<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref> in service with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] prior to the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2525]]. | | The '''UNSC ''Atlas''''' was a carrier in the [[UNSC]] fleet in [[2525]]. On April of that year, the vessel went on patrol in the [[Lambda Serpentis System]]. Unknown to most of the crew, the [[Spartans]] were aboard for this mission, to recover from their augmentations - and bury their dead - in the microgravity atmosphere.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 60</ref> |
|

|
| ==Service history==
| | The ''Atlas'' had a detachment of [[ODST]]s from the [[105th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Division]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 65</ref> One morning, in the ''Atlas'' gym, an argument between John and four ODSTs was caused by Jon accidentily almost crushing an ODST's foot with wieghts. It left three of the ODSTs dead and one badly wounded. It damaged the relastionship between Spartans and ODST's.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', page 67-68</ref> Unknown to John, or apparently [[ONI]] for that matter, the Lieutenant in command of those four ODSTs was [[Major Antonio Silva|Antonio Silva]], who would, as a Major, lead the ODST detachment of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 134</ref> |
| ===Lambda Serpentis===
| |
| On April 2525, the vessel went on patrol in the [[Lambda Serpentis system]]. Unknown to most of the crew, [[Spartan-II]]s were onboard the ''Atlas'' to recover from their [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|augmentations]] in the microgravity conditions and bury their dead.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 60''</ref>

| Common throughout most ships in the fleet, the ''Atlas'' had a detachment of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from the [[105th Shock Troops Division|105th division]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 65''</ref> A situation was orchestrated aboard the ship to test a Spartan against then Second Lieutenant [[Antonio Silva]]'s marines.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', Chapter 5, ''page 134'' (2003 paperback); ''page 149'' (2010 paperback)</ref> One morning, in the ship's gymnasium, an argument between a young [[John-117]] and four marines was caused by John accidentally almost crushing a Helljumper's foot with weights. It left two of the [[ODST]]s dead and the other two severely wounded. It damaged the relationship and triggered off the intense rivalry between Spartans and the Helljumpers for nearly three decades.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 67-68''</ref>

| ==Trivia==
| | It is named after the titan [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(mythology) Atlas] in Greek mythology, who held the sky on his back as punishment for rebelling against the Gods. |
| *The ship is named after the titan [[Wikipedia:Atlas (mythology)|Atlas]] in [[List of Greek mythology references in Halo|Greek mythology]], who held the sky on his back as punishment for rebelling against the gods.

| *''Atlas''<nowiki>'</nowiki> appearance changes between the comic and animated adaptations of ''The Fall of Reach''. The original design vaguely resembles the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}. In contrast, the version seen in the animated series resembles the ''Epoch''-class heavy carrier, albeit with several elements rearranged (such as the thrusters being inverted) or absent (such as the bridge section). According to [[343 Industries]] writer [[Jeff Easterling]], the ship is canonically an ''Epoch''-class carrier, with her divergent appearances in visual media due to artistic license.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}}
