UNSC Aegis Fate

The UNSC Aegis Fate, hull classification symbol FFG-307, is a frigate in the UNSC Navy.

Fall of Reach
Aegis Fate was present during the Fall of Reach in the summer of 2552 as part of the Epsilon Eridani Fleet. It was offered as a support element for Dragon X-ray, though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage. It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the Covenant glassed it from orbit.

Battle of Earth
After fleeing Reach, the Aegis Fate fought alongside the UNSC Home Fleet during the Covenant invasion of Earth in October 2552. By the time SPARTAN John-117 returned from Installation 05 the following month, it was one of the few ships left in the battered fleet.

The Aegis Fate later took part in the attempt to stop the Prophet of Truth from activating the portal to Installation 00 during the Battle of Voi. However, the attack was unsuccesful. After much deliberation, the Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood and Shipmaster Rtas 'Vadum of the Sangheili Fleet of Retribution decided to pursue Truth's fleet through the portal.

Battle of Installation 00
After arriving at Installation 00 along with the and the Fleet of Retribution, Aegis Fate was stationed over an abandoned Jiralhanae encampment. It deployed at least one Albatross to the service, though it crashed by unknown means. It is unknown whether the vessel returned to UNSC-controlled space, though it is possible that at least some of its crew and complement were evacuated.
