It had the facilities, doctors, and supplies to treat thousands of critically injured patients at a time. With the horrors of the [[Human-Covenant War]] taking their toll on the UNSC forces, the ''Hopeful'' was always busy. In many cases, the ''Hopeful'' was known to literally 'bring the dead back to life'.<ref | In [[2495]], the UNSC took control of the station and added six fusion reactors and a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]], turning ''Hopeful'' into the largest mobile battlefield hospital in history.
