UNSC Dresden was a Marathon-class heavy cruiser that was destroyed above Biko during the Covenant's attack on the planet.[1]

Service history[edit]

During the Battle of Biko, the Dresden was boarded. Captain Aoife Septem and the crew of the ship attempted to defend the vessel.[3]

Sometime after the war, fetcher Oliver Birch was contracted to retrieve a saddle box that was attached to the Dresden.[1]

Trivia[edit]

The Dresden was likely named after the historical German city of Dresden, which suffered severe bombing at the end of World War II.
