'''Mombasa''' is a city in the [[Kenya|Kenyan]] portion of the [[East African Protectorate]] on [[Earth]]. The heart of the city was the prosperous [[New Mombasa]] on [[Wikipedia:Mombasa Island|Mombasa Island]]. The nearby mainland was the site of [[Old Mombasa]], a comparatively run-down district.<ref name="bnet">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx ''Bungie.net:'' Field Guide entry: New Mombasa]</ref>
==History==
===Insurrection===
{{Main|Insurrection}}
The time of the Insurrection saw a number of class additions and devlopments to the UNSC's fleet. In [[2493]], the {{Class|Valiant|super-heavy cruiser}} entered service. Though serious cost problems over five years cast doubt in the class' future.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-bulkhead-banter '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Canon Fodder - Bulkhead Banter'']</ref> At some point in the Insurrection, a new carrier, the {{Class|Orion|assault carrier}}, was built to help with ground operations.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/canon-fodder-armory-amore '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Canon Fodder - Armory Amore'']</ref> One of the last known class additions during the Insurrection was the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}. In [[2510]], the class first entered service.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets]]''' - ''Page 60''</ref>
===Human-Covenant war===
[[File:Punic orbit.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A few UNSC starship classes during the Human-Covenant war.]]
{{Main|Human-Covenant war}}
 
====CAA and CMA Absorption====
In [[2525]], the UNSC would strip away the CMA's naval resources and give them to [[UNSC Naval Command|NAVCOM]].<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''' - Collectible: ''[[Halo Wars Timeline Events]]''</ref> As well, the UNSC would begin to take over the [[Colonial Administration Authority]] in the midst of the [[Human-Covenant war]]. With these additions, the UNSC received several different types of ships. This included the CAA's {{Class|Springhill|mining vessel}}<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''' - ''Page 208''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 4]]''' - Map: ''[[Adrift]]''</ref> and the {{Class|Diligence|destroyer|}} from the CMA.<ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-clarity-grace '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Clarity & Grace '']</ref> Both of which would be brought back to service or continued service such as with the {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}} and the {{CAAShip|Heavy Burden}}.
 
====Fall of Reach====
{{Main|Fall of Reach}}
With 152 ships present at the battle,<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''' - ''Pages 295-297''</ref> a large number of these ships were destroyed. This included many capital ships such as the {{UNSCShip|Trafalgar}}, the flagship of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]] and pride of the Navy.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''' - ''Page 168''</ref>
 
====Earth and the End of the War====
{{Main|Battle of Earth}}
Starting [[2552#September|September 5, 2552]] all remaining UNSC starships and their fleets were consolidated under a single command grouping under the [[UNSC Home Fleet]].<ref>'''[[Halo Legendary Crate]]''' - Bonus Item: ''Naval Records Archives''</ref> By the end of the war, the plethora of UNSC starships had been reduced to only a few hundred.<ref name="mythospg132"/>
 
===Post-war===
[[File:H4 Infinity escort.jpg|left|thumb|200px|The UNSC ''Infinity''-class supercarrier, the largest UNSC vessel, and the ''Autumn''-class heavy cruiser.]]
Following the Human-Covenant war, the surviving UNSC starships were brought back to Sol to be repaired, refitted and counted.<ref name="mythospg132">'''[[Halo Mythos: A Guide to the Story of Halo]]''' - ''Page 132''</ref>
 
A variety of starship classes and several ship improvements that were created during the war finally became commonplace. The {{Class|Autumn|heavy cruiser}}, the {{Class|Strident|heavy frigate}} and the {{Class|Infinity|supercarrier}} were all added to the fleet. All three have shielding,<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''' - [[Spartan Ops/Season One/Departure|Episode 1: ''Departure'']]</ref><ref name="envoyage">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/en-voyage '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Canon Fodder - En Voyage'']</ref> an unprecedented addition to UNSC ships.


==History==
As part of ongoing offenses, UNSC ''Strident''-class frigates and {{Class|Anlace|frigate}}s were being deployed to the [[Outer Colonies]] to route out [[Covenant remnants|Covenant remnant]] occupiers.<ref>'''Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo''' - ''Pages 38 & 39''</ref>
===Pre-2300s===
 
[[File:Mombasa View From Sky.jpg|thumb|An overhead view of Mombasa in 2552.]]
====The Reclamation====
The exact founding date of the city is unknown, but it has a long history. It must have been already a prosperous trading town in the 12th century, as one of its earliest mentions is from 1151. Mombasa had always been an important port of the Indian Ocean trade routes and was captured and recaptured countless times by a variety of powers including Portugal, the United Kingdom, and various Arab forces. This violent history led to its [[Swahili]] nickname "Kisiwa Cha Mvita," or "Island of War." The city became part of the independent nation of Kenya in the 20th century. During this era, Mombasa became a tourist destination, boasting numerous resorts and clean white beaches. It was also important as a port city, connecting East Africa to the Indian Ocean.<ref name="wp">[[Wikipedia:Mombasa|Mombasa on Wikipedia]]</ref>
{{Main|The Reclamation}}
At the beginning of the Reclamation, many UNSC starships were disabled by [[Guardian (Forerunner AI)|Guardians]] under the control of the [[Created]].<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''' - Level: ''[[Guardians (level)|Guardians]]''</ref> Some ships, were likely ripped out of [[Slipstream Space]] with the activation of the Guardians, like the {{UNSCShip|Nereid}}.<ref>'''[[Halo: Tales from Slipspace]]''' - ''[[Undefeated]]''</ref>


===Interstellar Era===
==Organization==
[[File:Orbital Elevator.jpg|thumb|200px|The [[New Mombasa Orbital Elevator]].]]
===Management===
Mombasa underwent dramatic change with the arrival of the interstellar era. In response to increasing demand for cheap orbital access, due to its economic stability and prominent location, Mombasa was chosen to be Earth's first [[Space elevator|Space Elevator]] city.<ref name="waypoint">''[[Halo Waypoint]]'', "Space Elevator" article (Archived on [https://web.archive.org/web/20111007185941/http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/theuniverse/locations/gallery/space-tether/e9b2f438-9b5b-477e-8e52-d4e6801e9d5b Archive.org])</ref> The government began construction on one of the wonders of the age: a space elevator (Mombasa's proximity to the equator made it an ideal location) in [[2302]].<ref name="bnet" /> This structure served to lift heavy cargo into geosynchronous orbit without expensive booster rockets filled with fuel.  
In the UNSC, ships can also be operated by different departments and branches. Warships like  the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} were operated by the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]''' - ''Pages 36 & 37''</ref> Smaller craft were often operated by other branches or were overlapped with another branch. The [[F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter]], for example, was operated by the [[UNSC Air Force]].<ref>'''Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide''' - ''Page 114''</ref> The [[UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping]] also operated a number of [[Freighter]]s.


Over the next eleven years the city experienced explosive growth, but nothing compared to what followed. The city grew out as well as up, its urban sprawl unequaled throughout the continent.<ref name="bnet" />
===Tactical Groupings===
UNSC ships were organized into [[UNSC Fleet|fleet]]s and further down into [[Battle Group|Battlegroups]]. Alternatively, ships could be organized into [[Flotilla]]s.


Mombasa would change dramatically within the centuries that followed. By [[2430]], New Mombasa had absorbed the entire island and many of the surrounding towns, which became overrun by residents of Mombasa. The switch of name was never official, and though many of the neighborhoods within direct line of sight to the Mombasa Tether still distributed newspapers and [[Chatter]] directories under their previous names, all municipalities within a 74 km radius of the island became referred to as "Old Mombasa."<ref name="bnet" />
===Identification===
There were a few known ways of identifying UNSC ships. There was the [[Hull classification symbol]], which gives each ship a letter classification and a number. There was the [[Ship emblem|ship emblem]], which was a unique image that was special to each ship.  


On [[2512|December 19, 2512]], the Superintendent was activated to manage the city's infrastructure.<ref name="wayp">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/tech/superintendent ''Halo Waypoint:'' Superintendent]</ref>
Some warships also used the [[UNSC REG system]], which was also a special serial number.<ref>'''Halo 4''' - Level: ''[[Dawn (level)|Dawn]]''</ref><ref name="h2acairo"/> There was also the UNc system, which had an unknown meaning.<ref name="h2acairo">'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''' - Level: ''[[Cairo Station (level)|Cairo Station]]''</ref>  


===Covenant Invasion===
The UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping operated its own identification codes for freighters that were primarily used in [[COM]] transmissions.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''' - ''Page 34''</ref>
[[File:LC 002 Doc Recon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the affects the Covenant had on the Mombasa area.]]
===Leadership===
{{Main|Battle of Mombasa}}
The leader of a UNSC starship, like other human starships, is referred to as a Captain regardless of actual rank.<ref>'''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]''' - ''Pages 90-92''</ref> Common ranks of this position include [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] (ex: [[Miranda Keyes]], [[Richard Lash]]) and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] (ex: [[Jacob Keyes]], [[James Cutter]]).
On [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], a small group of [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[capital ship]]s arrived at Earth. Uninformed of the Human presence on Earth, Regret was outnumbered and outgunned against the [[UNSC Home Fleet]]. During the orbital battle, the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[Solemn Penance|Flagship]] broke through Earth's defenses and descended to the atmosphere, and anchored itself above New Mombasa.<ref name="halo2">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[Outskirts]]</ref> The Covenant started deploying their ground forces to the city, in search of a [[Forerunner]] relic, the [[Installation 00|Ark]] [[The Artifact|Portal]], buried under the city.<ref name="sunrise">''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', "[[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]"</ref>


However, due to a strong UNSC counterattack and the inferior numbers of the Covenant, Regret ordered all of his forces to be evacuated back aboard the Carrier. After this, the ship jumped into [[Slipstream Space|slipspace]] just above the city, releasing a shockwave and pulling multiple city blocks from the mainland with it.<ref name="metropolis">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[Metropolis]]</ref> This event became known as the "New Mombasa Slipspace Event."<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', multiplayer map, [[High Ground]]</ref> In the hours after Regret's retreat, a larger Covenant fleet arrived at Earth. After sending in ground forces and crushing the remaining UNSC resistance in the city, they [[Glassing|glassed]] the area in order to uncover the Portal.<ref name="coastal" /> In the [[battle of Tsavo|final days]] of the Battle for Earth, only smoldering ruins of Mombasa remained.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', campaign level, [[Tsavo Highway (level)|Tsavo Highway]]</ref>
==Design==
A number of corporations helped construct UNSC ships. Some of these manufacturers include [[Sinoviet Heavy Machinery]], [[Aerofabrique SA]] and [[TanSec AB]].


===Post-war===
Design guidelines for ships emphasize that the command crew should have visibility of the surrounding exterior area of the ship. This is usually achieved through windows on the bridge.{{Ref/Book|Book=Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo|PageNum=33}}
Following the end of the war, the [[Unified Earth Government]] began [[Project Rebirth]] to rehabilitate war torn areas on Earth.<ref>''[[Halo: Legacy of Onyx]]'', Chapter 2</ref> At some point, the Project started work in Mombasa. The old city hall thoroughfare for Mombasa was to be transformed into the [[United Nations Space Command Memorial Park|UNSC Memorial Park]].<ref name="mombasapressrelease">''[[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes]]'', [[McFarlane Toys/Halo Point Prizes#Golden Master Chief|Master Chief Statue Press Release]]</ref>


==Geography==
UNSC ships have an internal deck naming structure. On most ships, the Hangar deck is considered Zero Deck. Decks below that are "belowdeck" and are numbered in descending order starting at First Deck. Everything above the hangar deck is a "level", starting at Level One and going in an ascending order.{{Ref/Book|Book=Halo: Silent Storm - A Master Chief Story|Chapter=Chapter 4}}
Mombasa Island, where the metropolis of New Mombasa lies, is separated from the mainland by two creeks: [[Wikipedia:Tudor Creek|Tudor Creek]] to the north and [[Wikipedia:Kilindini Harbour|Kilindini Harbour]] to the south. Northwest of the island and between the inlets, there used to be a large peninsula, connected to the Mombasa island by the [[Wikipedia:Makupa Causeway|Makupa Causeway]].<ref group="note">This landmass was shown to be covered by water in ''Halo 3: ODST''. This could be explained by the dramatic climbing of sea levels due to global warming, whose results are evident throughout Mombasa. Or by the creation of an artificial seaway that reaches further inland. It's also possible that this simply wasn't created for the in-game area as the only way to see that far west is in [[Panoramic Camera Mode]]</ref>


===Old Mombasa===
===AI===
[[File:H2A Campaign OldMombasaSkyline.png|200px|thumb|right|The skyline of Old Mombasa.]]
{{Main|Artificial intelligence}}
{{Main|Old Mombasa}}
UNSC Starships were often given a [[Ship Director]], an AI who could manage much of the ship's tasks with the Captain's authority. Generally, these AI were "[[Smart artificial intelligence|Smart]]".<ref>'''[[Halo: Warfleet – An Illustrated Guide to the Spacecraft of Halo]]''' - ''Pages 90-92''</ref>
Much of the mainland was known as Old Mombasa. This includes parts of [[Wikipedia:Likoni|Likoni]], south and southwest of Kilindini Harbour.<ref name="halo2"/><ref name="nmwaypoint">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/new-mombasa ''Halo Waypoint'': New Mombasa]</ref>


The moniker of Old Mombasa was applied to all municipalities in a 74km radius of Mombasa,<ref name="bnet" /> which would include some towns in [[Wikipedia:Kwale County|Kwale County]] and [[Wikipedia:Kilifi County|Kilifi County]].  
===Armament===
====MACs====
{{Main|Magnetic Accelerator Cannon}}
[[File:Mac.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A ''Charon''-class light frigate firing it's MAC.]]
MACs are massive coil guns that are used to accelerate projectiles ranging in mass from 600 tons to 3,000 tons, at extremely high velocities. These projectiles are composed of [[Titanium-A armor|Titanium-A]], depleted Uranium, and/or Tungsten with a ferrous (iron) core. They also super heat the metal slugs to make it easier for them to penetrate a target. Super MAC platforms accelerate MAC rounds to over "point four-tenths" the speed of light<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''' - ''Page 283''</ref> (120,000 kilometers per second) with twenty-three linear accelerator coils, while ship-based MACs have a lower velocity. Super MAC platforms can also reload a round in 5 seconds, where as the smaller capital ships will need several minutes.


====Locations====
The UNSC frigate {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} is quoted as firing a 600-ton round at 30 kilometers per second. Before [[Reach]] fell, {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} was equipped with a modified MAC that could quickly fire three lighter projectiles in succession instead of just one heavier projectile. It was originally intended to allow ''Pillar of Autumn'' a better chance of disabling a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship, which was a feature required for a mission that was later scrubbed following the [[Fall of Reach]].

===New Mombasa===
====Missile Batteries====
[[File:Nm skyline 1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The skyline of New Mombasa in 2552.]]
UNSC ships generally carry an array of missile batteries. Most UNSC ships carry [[Archer Missile]]s in one of many pods. These include the [[M58 Archer Missile Delivery System]] and the [[M42 Archer Missile Delivery System]]. These were complemented with [[Fusion rocket]]s.
{{Main|New Mombasa}}
New Mombasa encompasses the entirety of Mombasa Island,<ref name="bnet" /> as well as some mainland territories.<ref name="nmwaypoint"/>


The City Center spans much of the Southeast portion of the island, being divided in multiple walled sectors.<ref group="note">In [[Sadie's Story]], multiple areas seen in the ODST campaign are referred to as the city center. This includes [[Kikowani Station]] (Audio log 1, Circle 1, Arc 1), [[ONI Alpha Site]] and the [[New Mombasa Data Center]] (Audio log 8, Circle 3, Arc 2),  the [[NMPD Headquarters]] (Audio log 24, Circle 8, Arc 3), and the area in which the ''Solemn Penance'' arrived at (Audio log 3, Circle 1, Arc 3).</ref>
A common tactic among UNSC ships was to disable the target's shields with MAC rounds and then pummel it with Archer missiles.


While the majority of New Mombasa has been divided to numbered sectors, some districts such as [[Mbaraki]], [[Kizingo]] or [[Kikowani]] still retain their original names. The original names are often seen in the names of streets or train stations, for example. Some of the districts' names have changed, albeit slightly; areas originally referred to as Tangana and Liwatoni are now referred to as [[Tanaga]] and Liwitoni, respectively. The locations of some districts have changed as well. This is the case with most of the districts on the southern side of the island, where the sea has claimed large areas of land.<ref name="coastal" />
====Point Defense Batteries====
[[File:Reach 3003793 Full.jpg|200px|right|thumb|The {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} firing its M910 Rampart guns.]]
Point defense batteries were common on UNSC warships. Some of these batteries include the [[M910 Point-defense gun|M910 Rampart]], the [[M870 Rampart point defense gun|M870 Rampart]], the [[M710 Bulwark point defense gun|M710 Bulwark]], and the [[Mark 57 Arena point defense guns|Mark 57 Arena]].


On the outskirts of New Mombasa existed an industrial wasteland where a [[Tombstone (facility)|UNSC munitions testing facility]] existed.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12358 ''Bungie.net'', An Affinity for Art]</ref>
====Nuclear Weapons====
UNSC warships usually contain nuclear weapons of some sort. Generally they were the {{Class|Shiva|nuclear missile}}.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''' - ''Page 147''</ref> Though, in the post-war era, UNSC ships generally use the [[M4093 Hyperion Nuclear Delivery System]].


====Locations====
==Types==
{{Featurelist|secondcolumn=title-3|title-1=Industrial zone|
===Starfighters===
{{Main|New Mombasa industrial zone}}
The UNSC operates several types of starfighters. The most common being the [[GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor|GA-TL1 ''Longsword''-class Interceptor]]. The [[YSS-1000 Prototype Anti-Ship Spaceplane|YSS-1000 ''Sabre'']] was a secretive starfighter that was mostly used in the [[Inner colonies]]. The [[F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter|F-41 ''Broadsword'' XMSF]] was a mainline starfighter that lacked the technology of the Sabre.

The most common dropships in the UNSC were the [[Pelican]]s. This included the [[D77-TC Pelican]], [[D78-TC Pelican]] and the [[D79H-TC Pelican]]. Heavier dropships were also used such as the [[D81-LRT Condor]], the [[D82-EST Darter]], and the [[D96-TCE Albatross]]. The largest of which was the [[D20 Heron]]. The UNSC also had dropship escape pods, the [[Class-3 Enclosed Heavy Lifeboat, Controlled|Class-3 Bumblebee]].

===Support Starships===
[[File:Superintendant-alone.svg|thumb|100px|right|The Superintendent's most seen avatar.]]
{{Main|Support starship}}
The [[Superintendent]], a second generation "dumb-AI,"<ref name="wayp" /> managed many of the municipal functions in New Mombasa<ref name="streets" /> and in Old Mombasa.<ref name="ani" />
Several types of support ships that were used include the stealthy [[UNSC prowler|Prowler]] and its subtypes. Other stealth ship classes existed including the {{Class|Chiroptera|stealth vessel}}. There was also the incredibly small [[UNSC sloop]]. To assist in fleet actions, there was the [[UNSC Shield-Generator Ship]]. Another type of ship that was used by the UNSC included the {{Class|Calypso|exfiltration craft}}. Following the UNSC's take over of the CAA, the {{Class|Springhill|mining vessel}} helped build materiel for UNSC forces.


The transit of Mombasa is run by the [[New Mombasa Transit Authority]]. They are known to operate the extensive [[Maglev train]] network within the city.<ref name="streets">''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[Mombasa Streets]]</ref><ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', multiplayer map, [[Terminal (level)|Terminal]]</ref>
===Light Warships===
{{Main|Light capital warship}}
The UNSC also operated several types of lighter warships including the [[UNSC frigate]], the [[UNSC corvette]], and the [[UNSC destroyer]]. One large stealthy class of light warship is the [[UNSC stealth cruiser|Stealth Cruiser]].


The [[New Mombasa Police Department]] is the police force of the city. They have stations in Old Mombasa<ref name="ani">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', campaign level, [[Outskirts]]</ref> and their headquarters is located in New Mombasa.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[NMPD HQ (level)|NMPD HQ]]</ref>
[[File:UNSC Capital Vessels (Spartan Games).jpg|thumb|right|200px|A few UNSC capital ships and their sizes]]


The waste management of the city is handled by the [[New Mombasa Waste Management]]. They operate all sorts of garbage cans throughout New Mombasa and Old Mombasa. They also operate the [[M312 Heavy Recovery Vehicle#Halo 3: ODST|Olifant]].<ref name="coastal">''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[Coastal Highway]]</ref>
===Heavy Capital Warships===
{{Main|Heavy capital warship}}
The UNSC had a few different types of Heavy warships including the [[UNSC cruiser]] and the [[UNSC carrier]]. The largest carrier class, the {{Class|Infinity|supercarrier|}}, was also the largest ship class in the UNSC's history. The {{Class|Vindication|light battleship|}} was unique as it was a [[Battleship]], an uncommon type in UNSC ships.


The parks and greenspace of Mombasa are handled by the [[New Mombasa Parks and Recreation]]. They managed the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]],<ref name="coastal"/> and most likely the [[Kilindini Park Cultural Center]].
===Other===
ONI's [[Reverse Engineering and Prototyping - Xenotechnology]] have recovered, refit and begun testing on multiple [[Covenant Starship]]s.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/catalog-interaction/4c3e1c6f-6519-4ee0-83a4-4bac13bf07a3/posts?page=23 '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Catalog Interaction - Page 23'']</ref>

Revision as of 23:53, August 7, 2019

UNSC starships were Human starships operated by the United Nations Space Command. The UNSC operated these starships through several different branches.

History

Insurrection

Main article: Insurrection

The time of the Insurrection saw a number of class additions and devlopments to the UNSC's fleet. In 2493, the Valiant-class super-heavy cruiser entered service. Though serious cost problems over five years cast doubt in the class' future.[1] At some point in the Insurrection, a new carrier, the Orion-class assault carrier, was built to help with ground operations.[2] One of the last known class additions during the Insurrection was the Halcyon-class light cruiser. In 2510, the class first entered service.[3]

Human-Covenant war

A few UNSC starship classes during the Human-Covenant war.
Main article: Human-Covenant war

CAA and CMA Absorption

In 2525, the UNSC would strip away the CMA's naval resources and give them to NAVCOM.[4] As well, the UNSC would begin to take over the Colonial Administration Authority in the midst of the Human-Covenant war. With these additions, the UNSC received several different types of ships. This included the CAA's Springhill-class mining vessel[5][6] and the Diligence-class from the CMA.[7] Both of which would be brought back to service or continued service such as with the UNSC Kronstadt and the CAA Heavy Burden.

Fall of Reach

Main article: Fall of Reach

With 152 ships present at the battle,[8] a large number of these ships were destroyed. This included many capital ships such as the UNSC Trafalgar, the flagship of the Epsilon Eridani Fleet and pride of the Navy.[9]

Earth and the End of the War

Main article: Battle of Earth

Starting September 5, 2552 all remaining UNSC starships and their fleets were consolidated under a single command grouping under the UNSC Home Fleet.[10] By the end of the war, the plethora of UNSC starships had been reduced to only a few hundred.[11]

Post-war

The UNSC Infinity-class supercarrier, the largest UNSC vessel, and the Autumn-class heavy cruiser.

Following the Human-Covenant war, the surviving UNSC starships were brought back to Sol to be repaired, refitted and counted.[11]

A variety of starship classes and several ship improvements that were created during the war finally became commonplace. The Autumn-class heavy cruiser, the Strident-class heavy frigate and the Infinity-class supercarrier were all added to the fleet. All three have shielding,[12][13] an unprecedented addition to UNSC ships.

As part of ongoing offenses, UNSC Strident-class frigates and Anlace-class frigates were being deployed to the Outer Colonies to route out Covenant remnant occupiers.[14]

The Reclamation

Main article: The Reclamation

At the beginning of the Reclamation, many UNSC starships were disabled by Guardians under the control of the Created.[15] Some ships, were likely ripped out of Slipstream Space with the activation of the Guardians, like the UNSC Nereid.[16]

Organization

Management

In the UNSC, ships can also be operated by different departments and branches. Warships like the UNSC In Amber Clad were operated by the UNSC Navy.[17] Smaller craft were often operated by other branches or were overlapped with another branch. The F-41 Exoatmospheric Multirole Strike Fighter, for example, was operated by the UNSC Air Force.[18] The UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping also operated a number of Freighters.

Tactical Groupings

UNSC ships were organized into fleets and further down into Battlegroups. Alternatively, ships could be organized into Flotillas.

Identification

There were a few known ways of identifying UNSC ships. There was the Hull classification symbol, which gives each ship a letter classification and a number. There was the ship emblem, which was a unique image that was special to each ship.

Some warships also used the UNSC REG system, which was also a special serial number.[19][20] There was also the UNc system, which had an unknown meaning.[20]

The UNSC Department of Commercial Shipping operated its own identification codes for freighters that were primarily used in COM transmissions.[21]

Leadership

The leader of a UNSC starship, like other human starships, is referred to as a Captain regardless of actual rank.[22] Common ranks of this position include Commander (ex: Miranda Keyes, Richard Lash) and Captain (ex: Jacob Keyes, James Cutter).

Design

A number of corporations helped construct UNSC ships. Some of these manufacturers include Sinoviet Heavy Machinery, Aerofabrique SA and TanSec AB.

Design guidelines for ships emphasize that the command crew should have visibility of the surrounding exterior area of the ship. This is usually achieved through windows on the bridge.[23]

UNSC ships have an internal deck naming structure. On most ships, the Hangar deck is considered Zero Deck. Decks below that are "belowdeck" and are numbered in descending order starting at First Deck. Everything above the hangar deck is a "level", starting at Level One and going in an ascending order.[24]

AI

Main article: Artificial intelligence

UNSC Starships were often given a Ship Director, an AI who could manage much of the ship's tasks with the Captain's authority. Generally, these AI were "Smart".[25]

Armament

MACs

Main article: Magnetic Accelerator Cannon
A Charon-class light frigate firing it's MAC.

MACs are massive coil guns that are used to accelerate projectiles ranging in mass from 600 tons to 3,000 tons, at extremely high velocities. These projectiles are composed of Titanium-A, depleted Uranium, and/or Tungsten with a ferrous (iron) core. They also super heat the metal slugs to make it easier for them to penetrate a target. Super MAC platforms accelerate MAC rounds to over "point four-tenths" the speed of light[26] (120,000 kilometers per second) with twenty-three linear accelerator coils, while ship-based MACs have a lower velocity. Super MAC platforms can also reload a round in 5 seconds, where as the smaller capital ships will need several minutes.

The UNSC frigate UNSC Gettysburg is quoted as firing a 600-ton round at 30 kilometers per second. Before Reach fell, UNSC Pillar of Autumn was equipped with a modified MAC that could quickly fire three lighter projectiles in succession instead of just one heavier projectile. It was originally intended to allow Pillar of Autumn a better chance of disabling a Covenant ship, which was a feature required for a mission that was later scrubbed following the Fall of Reach.

UNSC Infinity has miniature MAC guns along its hull, to compliment its built in, larger MAC guns.

Missile Batteries

UNSC ships generally carry an array of missile batteries. Most UNSC ships carry Archer Missiles in one of many pods. These include the M58 Archer Missile Delivery System and the M42 Archer Missile Delivery System. These were complemented with Fusion rockets.

A common tactic among UNSC ships was to disable the target's shields with MAC rounds and then pummel it with Archer missiles.

Point Defense Batteries

The UNSC Savannah firing its M910 Rampart guns.

Point defense batteries were common on UNSC warships. Some of these batteries include the M910 Rampart, the M870 Rampart, the M710 Bulwark, and the Mark 57 Arena.

Nuclear Weapons

UNSC warships usually contain nuclear weapons of some sort. Generally they were the Shiva-class nuclear missile.[27] Though, in the post-war era, UNSC ships generally use the M4093 Hyperion Nuclear Delivery System.

Types

Starfighters

The UNSC operates several types of starfighters. The most common being the GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor. The YSS-1000 Sabre was a secretive starfighter that was mostly used in the Inner colonies. The F-41 Broadsword XMSF was a mainline starfighter that lacked the technology of the Sabre.

Dropships

D77H-TCI, a model of the ever present Pelican Dropship.
Main article: Dropship

The most common dropships in the UNSC were the Pelicans. This included the D77-TC Pelican, D78-TC Pelican and the D79H-TC Pelican. Heavier dropships were also used such as the D81-LRT Condor, the D82-EST Darter, and the D96-TCE Albatross. The largest of which was the D20 Heron. The UNSC also had dropship escape pods, the Class-3 Bumblebee.

Colony Starships
