CCS-U624 is a CCS-class battlecruiser from the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction that is known only by its UNSC designation.
History
In February 2531, after the location of the Outer Colony of Arcadia was discovered during the Harvest campaign, the CCS-class battlecruiser that would become known as CCS-U321 was sent to the planet alongside the battlecruiser that would become known as CCS-U624. Upon arrival, both ships were attacked by the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, the UNSC Belfast, the UNSC Texas and the UNSC Armstrong. The four UNSC vessels managed to catch CCS-U321 with its shields down and destroy it, but CCS-U624 destroyed the Belfast and the Texas and caused heavy damage to the Armstrong and the Pillar of Autumn before continuing on. After the space battle, U624 moved planet-side and started deploying ground forces, quickly overwhelming the UNSC troops there.
When the UNSC Spirit of Fire arrived at Arcadia after the space battle, the ship's smart-AI Serina reported on the events to Captain James Cutter.[1]
Given that the UNSC were successful in repelling the assault, it is highly probable that U624 retreated or was destroyed in its attempt to escape the planet.
Trivia
CCS-U624's designation, as well as that of CCS-U321, resembles those of German U-boats during World War II.
