The Archimedes was a Remote Scanning Outpost located on the edge of the Sigma Octanus system, designed to detect incoming threats to the system. It was crewed by three individuals, including Ensign William Lovell.[1]
History
Human-Covenant War
On July 17, 2552, the Archimedes' Slipstream space probes detected a large mass in Slipspace. ENS Lovell believed that it was simply a large asteroid and did not investigate further. However, it turned out to be a hostile Covenant naval formation inbound for Commander Jacob Keyes' battle group. Because of this incident, Ensign Lovell was transferred to the UNSC Iroquois by CDR Keyes.
Trivia
Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, philosopher, and inventor who came up with many scientific and mathematical contributions that are still in use today. For example, he derived the formula of a circle without the use of calculus and discovered the length of extremely large real-world objects through use of trigonometry.
