'''UNSC ''Tharsis''''' was a [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] in service with the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | |||
==Service history== | |||
''Tharsis'' was present during the [[Fall of Reach]], where it was heavily damaged,<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 207''</ref> although one of its fusion reactors remained intact. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] moved the destroyer's hulk to the "graveyard" they established over [[Reach]]'s northern pole. | |||
== | When the UNSC-controlled ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' returned to Reach following the [[Battle of Installation 04]], [[Cortana]] considered merging the ''Tharsis'' with the captured Covenant vessel. However, ultimately the frigate {{UNSCShip|Gettysburg}} was selected based on that ship's better condition and intact [[MAC]] gun.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 252''</ref> | ||
