==Background==
==Service history==
It was assigned to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the [[Battle of Earth]] when the confrontation concluded with the [[Covenant Loyalist]] withdrawal through the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal]].{{citation needed}}
 
==Operational History==
===Fall of Reach===
===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|Fall of  Reach}}
{{Main|Fall of  Reach}}
The ''Aegis Fate'' was present during the Fall of Reach.<ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref> It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] it from orbit. It is mentioned in a [[radio conversation]] on the level [[Overlook]].
The UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of [[2552]]. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for [[Dragon X-ray]], though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.{{Ref/Game|Halo: Reach|Detail=''[[Courtyard]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Courtyard|radio conversation]]}}
 
===Post-Reach===
{{Main|Sandtrap}}
After escaping Reach, the ''Aegis Fate'' was deployed to an abandoned [[Jiralhanae]] excavation site on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Site|Id=postmortem|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Sense of Scale - Postmortem|Detail=A postmortem anaylsis of Sandtrap.}}{{Ref/Note|Id=waypoint|1=In Bungie's [https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem Sandtrap postmortem], a section of Sandtrap's design document reads ''"Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework."''. During development of ''Halo 3'', "Waypoint" was the name given for the structure that would come to be known as The Ark.}} It deployed at least one [[Albatross]] to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|Sandtrap}}
 
==Production notes==
Prior to ''Halo 3''{{'}}s release, the ''Aegis Fate'' was thought to be a UNSC [[wikipedia:battlecruiser|battlecruiser]], as descriptions found in the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' described it as such.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937|Site=1up.com|Page=Halo 3 Info Revealed Through Beta Code, Mag Scans}}


===Battle of Earth===
In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the radio conversation mentioning ''Aegis Fate'' was on ''[[Overlook]]''<ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref> before being moved to ''[[Courtyard]]'' in the retail release.
{{Main|Battle of Earth}}
The ''Aegis Fate'' rejoined the human fleet at [[Earth]] and fought alongside the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the Battle of Earth. By the time the [[John-117|Master Chief]] returned from [[Installation 05]], it was one of the few ships left in the battered fleet.


The ''Aegis Fate'' took part in the attempt to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[Portal]].{{citation needed}} In the cut-scene, it can be seen firing [[MAC]] rounds at the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] alongside the ''Forward Unto Dawn''.{{citation needed}}
In the now-cancelled game ''[[Halo Online]]'', the ''Aegis Fate'' was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map ''[[Reactor (Halo Online map)|Reactor]]''.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The ''Aegis Fate'' can be seen if one looks towards the northeastern<ref>'''[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]''', page ??</ref> patch of unclouded sky on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map [[Sandtrap]].
*The ''Aegis Fate'' is prominently featured in the northeastern{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]|Page=??}} patch of unclouded sky on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map Sandtrap.
*''Aegis'' was the name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. The word Aegis was often used in relevance to protection, so "Aegis Fate" would mean (or at least something related to) "Protective Fate," or perhaps "Doomed to Protect."
*''[[Wikipedia:Aegis|Aegis]]'' was name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. It was originally Zeus', which he made from the hide of a goat who raised him.
*Prior to ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release, the ''Aegis Fate'' was thought to be a UNSC Battle Cruiser utilized in the [[Battle of the Ark]], and descriptions found in the ''Halo 3'' Beta described it as such.<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937 '''1up.com''': ''Halo 3 Info Revealed Through Beta Code, Mag Scans'']</ref>
*On the map [[Overlook]] [[Overlook Radio Conversation|radio chatter]] heard near Generator B mentions the ''Aegis Fate'' and how it is currently docked on Reach. This would confirm the vessel's presence at that battle.<ref name="radio"/>
