(It appears only in concept art for Halo 3. Should it even be considered canon?) |

'''UNSC ''Providence''''' is a [[UNSC frigate|fleet escort ship]] serving in the [[UNSC Navy]], of the {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}}ification.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=262-263, 302-303}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc11|Enc11|Page=274-275, 314-315}} | |||

The ''Providence'' is a ship featured heavily in the [[:File:H3 Script FirstDraft.pdf|first-draft script]] originally written by lead designer Rob Stokes for ''Halo 3''{{'}}s campaign. In these early drafts, the ship serves in the role that {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} occupies in the final game - essentially having been renamed. The ship would have served in [[Battle Group Victory]] alongside six other vessels (for a total of [[seven]]) - others including {{UNSCShip|Madrid}}, {{UNSCShip|Ningbo}}, and {{UNSCShip|Ophir}}. | |||
In the script, ''Providence'' is stated to be a {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}}. However, the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' featured in the final game was substantially redesigned and eventually designated the {{Class|Charon|light frigate}}. The ship is featured in several pieces of [[:Category:Halo 3 concept art|concept artwork]] produced during the [[Development of Halo 3|development]] of ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is one of two such ships heavily featured alongside {{UNSCShip|Andraste}}. Two pieces of art featuring the ''Providence'' in combat are featured in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition)]]'' and its [[Halo Encyclopedia (2011 edition)|2011 reprint]]. The first depicts the ship alongside another, unnamed ''Charon''-class, in [[Space warfare|naval combat]] with three {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}}s over a planet while the second shows the ship in a similar combat scenario but hit by enemy weaponry and on fire.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc11}} | |||
The ''Providence''{{'}}s feature in the encyclopedias, alongside its [[hull classification symbol]] having no other canon usage, indicates it may have some element of [[canon]]icity - though it has yet to be depicted in any ''Halo'' media outside of these features. | |||
