| 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> | | 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> One morning, in the ship's gym, an argument between a young [[John-117]] and four marines was caused by John accidentally almost crushing a Helljumper's foot with weights.

| *''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}}
