CMA Vostok

The CMA Vostok was a Colonial Military Administration-operated frigate.

Investigation of Harvest
The Vostok was part of Battlegroup 4 led by Captain Veredi of the Heracles that was sent to the Epsilon Indi system to find out what happened to the scout ship Argo and the colonly world of Harvest. The battle group consisted of his own ship, the destroyer Heracles, and two frigates, the CMA Arabia and the Vostok. They were sent to discover the fate of the colony on the planet Harvest, where contact had recently been lost with the local populace. The battlegroup encountered a Covenant vessel holding station in Harvest orbit and the Vostok was destroyed almost instantly by the Covenant's superior firepower. All hands were lost aboard the vessel.

Its partner ship, the Arabia, was destroyed at the same time, and the badly-damaged Heracles was forced to retreat.

Trivia
"Vostok" (Восток) is Russian for "east". The ship's name might refer to the Vostok Programme, the first spaceflight project to succeed in putting a human in Earth's orbit.
