UNSC Andraste

The UNSC Andraste was a UNSC frigate attached to the UNSC Home Fleet. Concept art for this vessel was shown in the book Art of Halo 3, as an early concept of what would evolve into the frigate. It was not featured in Halo 3 and thus it is unknown what purpose it was to have in the storyline.

Trivia

 * The Andraste's hull classification symbol as seen in concept art is K-201; 'K' was once a United States Navy hull classification for a corvette but has since been retired.
 * Due to its hull classification sharing the same number as the (201), it is likely that the ship's design was replaced by a frigate for Halo 3.
 * While the frigates in Halo 3 differ from the Andraste's design in a variety of ways, including a larger underside hangar, the initial design was more closely adapted to the UNSC heavy frigates in Halo: Reach.
 * The name is likely based on Andraste, a Celtic war goddess.
