UNSC Aegis Fate

The , Hull Classification Symbol FFG-307, was a frigate of the United Nations Space Command Navy.

It was believed to have been associated with the UNSC Home Fleet during the Second Battle of Earth when the confrontation concluded with the Covenant Loyalist withdrawal through the Forerunner Portal. The Sangheilian Fleet pursued them several hours later through the Portal, and the UNSC Aegis Fate was believed to be one of the UNSC warships attached to the Elite fleet as well as the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn. In the ensuing Battle of Installation 00, the Aegis Fate was last seen in a stationary position in the atmosphere of Installation 00 over a Brute encampment in the desert regions of Installation 00. The Aegis Fate was believed to have played a role in leveling Brute resistance in their desert encampment and have deployed two Behemoth-class Troop Transports and one Albatross, 03, that were found nearby the encampment.

Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC Battlecruiser, and descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such. Estimates of its size, armaments, and capabilities, using the Super Star Destroyer ships from the Star Warsseries against the Covenant placed it as one of the most powerful ships in either sides armadas - ironic, then, that it turned out to be one a frigate, one of the UNSC's less effective ships, in the final game.
