''Aegis Fate'' was present during the Fall of Reach in the summer of [[2552]] as part of the [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet]]. It was offered as a support element for [[Dragon X-ray]], though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage. It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the [[Covenant]] [[Glassing|glassed]] it from orbit.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' - ''[[Overlook]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations|radio conversation]]</ref><ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref>
