'''UNSC ''Euphrates''''' was a warship in service with the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]].


The '''UNSC frigate Euphrates''' was preparing to launch a reconnaissance mission as part of [[Operation: HYPODERMIC]] in 2552 when the [[Covenant]] attacked the planet [[Reach]]. The vessel was ordered to drop its mission and return to defend the planet, where it was probably destroyed during [[Battle of Reach|The Battle of Reach]].
==Service history==
It was preparing to launch a reconnaissance mission as part of [[Operation: HYPODERMIC]] in [[2552]], when the [[Covenant]] attacked the planet [[Reach]]. The vessel was ordered to drop its mission and return to defend the planet, where it was probably destroyed during the [[Fall of Reach]].


The Euphrates was carrying an [[Oni|ONI prowler]] on board for its mission. [[Lieutenant Haverson]] suggested that the [[Ascendant Justice]], under control of UNSC personnel, return to [[Reach]] and pick up that prowler and use it to repair the [[Ascendant Justice]]'s damaged reactor, just before the "First Strike" mission.
In addition to her complements of weapons and fighters, the UNSC ''Euphrates'' had a [[UNSC prowler|Prowler]] attached to her.<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 94'' (''"Although the ''Euphrates'' did have a Prowler attached to her. They were supposed to launch a [[Operation: HYPODERMIC|reconnaissance mission]], before they got the signal to drop everything and help [[Fall of Reach|defend Reach]]"'')</ref>

The UNSC Euphrates is most likely named after the [[wikipedia:Euphrates|Euphrates River]] in Iraq. It, along with the [[wikipedia:Tigris|Tigris River]], formed an area in the Middle East known as the "Fertile Crescent". This area was the birthplace of several large ancient empires, including the Assyrians and Sumerians.
