UNSC Aegis Fate

"Dragon X-ray, it looks like all I've got available at this time is the UNSC Aegis Fate."

- Blue-Delta.

The UNSC Aegis Fate (FFG-307) is a light frigate in the UNSC Navy.

Fall of Reach
The UNSC Aegis Fate was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of 2552. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for Dragon X-ray, though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.

Post-Reach
After escaping Reach, the Aegis Fate was deployed to an abandoned Jiralhanae excavation site on Installation 00. It deployed at least one Albatross to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.

Production notes
Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC battlecruiser, as descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such.

In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the radio conversation mentioning Aegis Fate was on Overlook before being moved to Courtyard in the retail release.

In the now-cancelled game Halo Online, the Aegis Fate was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map Reactor.
