According to the level description of [[Sandtrap (Level)]], the area the Aegis Fate hovers near was a Brute excavation site of a Forerunner structure. The vessel seems to have played a part in ejecting the Brutes from the area, such as supplying troops, vehicles, and supplies to UNSC ground forces.

note: I am not sure if this qualifies as a frigate under any circumstances due to its sheer size. When compared with the Forward Unto Dawn, which on numerous occasions you get a great deal of scale and size, from distance at a guess from SandTrap it is possible to be several kilometers from the map making its overall length at least 6-7 kilometers to the halfway make down the hull(this is guess work based on scale of ship to chief scale from numerous images).  If any classification is necessary i believe it would come in as a rare Battle Cruiser, rather then the tiny frigate hull classification.

Note To All Under Heaven : Its just a diffferent version of the Frigate (I.e. Heavy, Support, Light, etc..), Its very easy to tell Ingame and from this Pic that it is a Frigate, yet a different class.  (Most frigates we have seen are under the classification of HEAVY Frigate, since this Frigate supplied many troops / Vehicles / Equipment more then the Forward Unto Dawn did, u can figure out this is just a Support Class Frigate.  (No UNSC Ship is over 4k Long, and UNSC Battlecruiser, made-up-fictional-Ship.)

The UNSC Aegis Fate (FFG-307) is a Charon-class light frigate in the UNSC Navy.[1]

Service history[edit]

Fall of Reach[edit]

Main article: Fall of Reach

The UNSC Aegis Fate was present during the Covenant's invasion of Reach in the summer of 2552. It was assigned to bring fire support for a group of Marines fighting on the ground and offered as a support element for Dragon X-ray, though the operator refused, fearing that its firepower could cause collateral damage.[2]

Post-Reach[edit]

Main article: Sandtrap

After escaping Reach, the Aegis Fate was deployed to an abandoned Jiralhanae excavation site on Installation 00.[3][Note 2] It deployed at least one Albatross to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.[1]

Production notes[edit]

Prior to Halo 3's release, the Aegis Fate was thought to be a UNSC battlecruiser, as descriptions found in the Halo 3 Beta described it as such.[4]

In the Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta, the radio conversation mentioning Aegis Fate was on Overlook[5] before being moved to Courtyard in the retail release.

In the now-cancelled game Halo Online, the Aegis Fate was seen hovering high above the multiplayer map Reactor.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Aegis Fate is prominently featured in the northeastern[6] patch of unclouded sky on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Sandtrap.
  • Aegis was name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. It was originally Zeus', which he made from the hide of a goat who raised him.

List of appearances[edit]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The Aegis Fate is part of the Seventh Fleet due to the "7" star emblem adorning its ventral prow. This was established with the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn entry in the Halo: The Essential Visual Guide.
  2. ^ In Bungie's Sandtrap postmortem, a section of Sandtrap's design document reads "Deep within the boundless dune-fields of Waypoint, the high tech Forerunner structure encases the remnants of even older Forerunner stonework.". During development of Halo 3, "Waypoint" was the name given for the structure that would come to be known as The Ark.
