The '''UNSC Aegis Fate''', [[Hull Classification Symbol]] '''FFG-307''', is a [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]] of the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer level ''{{Levelname|Sandtrap}}''</ref>
{{Quote|[[Dragon X-ray]], it looks like all I've got available at this time is the UNSC ''Aegis Fate''.|[[Blue-Delta]].}}
The '''UNSC ''Aegis Fate''''' ([[hull classification symbol|FFG-307]]) is a {{Class|Charon|light frigate|}} [[UNSC frigate|light frigate]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].{{Ref/Map|Id=Sandtrap|Halo 3|[[Sandtrap]]}}


==Background==
==Service history==
It was assigned to the [[UNSC Home Fleet]] during the [[Battle of Earth]] when the confrontation concluded with the [[Covenant Loyalist]] withdrawal through the [[Forerunner]] [[Portal]].{{fact}} Several hours later, the [[Sangheilian Fleet]] pursued them through the Portal, and the UNSC ''Aegis Fate'' was one of the UNSC warships attached to the Sangheili fleet as well as the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}.
===Fall of Reach===
{{Main|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.{{Ref/Game|Halo: Reach|Detail=''[[Courtyard]]'' [[Halo: Reach radio conversations#Courtyard|radio conversation]]}}


==Operational History==
===Post-Reach===
The ''Aegis Fate'' took part in the attempt to stop the [[Prophet of Truth]] from activating the [[Portal]].{{fact}} In the cut-scene, it can be seen firing [[MAC]] rounds at the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] alongside the ''Forward Unto Dawn''.{{fact}} The ''Aegis'' followed the [[Covenant Separatists|Covenant Separatists']] [[Sangheilian Fleet|First Sangheilian Fleet]] into the portal and survived a further engagement between the [[Sangheili]] and [[Truth]]'s fleet.
{{Main|Sandtrap}}
After escaping Reach, the ''Aegis Fate'' was deployed to an abandoned [[Jiralhanae]] excavation site on [[Installation 00]].{{Ref/Site|Id=postmortem|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Sense of Scale - Postmortem|Detail=A postmortem anaylsis of Sandtrap.}}{{Ref/Note|Id=waypoint|1=In Bungie's [https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=Sandtrap_Postmortem 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.}} It deployed at least one [[Albatross]] to the surface, though it crashed for reasons unknown.{{Ref/Reuse|Sandtrap}}


In the ensuing [[Battle of Installation 00]], the ''Aegis Fate'' was last seen in a stationary position in the atmosphere of the [[Installation 00]] over a [[Jiralhanae]] encampment in the [[Sandtrap (Level)|desert regions]].
==Production notes==
Prior to ''Halo 3''{{'}}s release, the ''Aegis Fate'' was thought to be a UNSC [[wikipedia:battlecruiser|battlecruiser]], as descriptions found in the ''[[Halo 3 Beta]]'' described it as such.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937|Site=1up.com|Page=Halo 3 Info Revealed Through Beta Code, Mag Scans}}
 
In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the radio conversation mentioning ''Aegis Fate'' was on ''[[Overlook]]''<ref name="radio">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Reach Radio Chatter.wmv'']</ref> 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 (Halo Online map)|Reactor]]''.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The ''Aegis Fate'' can be seen if one looks towards the northeastern<ref>'''[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]''', ''page ??''</ref> patch of unclouded sky on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map ''{{Levelname|Sandtrap}}''.
*The ''Aegis Fate'' is prominently featured in the northeastern{{Ref/Book|[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]|Page=??}} patch of unclouded sky on the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map Sandtrap.
*''Aegis'' was the name of the goddess Athena's armor in Greek mythology. The word Aegis was often used in relevance to protection, so "Aegis Fate" would mean (or at least something related to) "Protective Fate," or perhaps "Doomed to Protect."
*''[[Wikipedia:Aegis|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.
*Prior to ''Halo 3''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release, the ''Aegis Fate'' was thought to be a UNSC Battle Cruiser utilized in the [[Battle of the Ark]], and descriptions found in the ''Halo 3'' Beta described it as such.<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159937 '''1up.com''': ''Halo 3 Info Revealed Through Beta Code, Mag Scans'']</ref>
*On the map {{Levelname|Overlook}}, a radio chatter near Generator B mentioned the Aegis Fate and how it is currently docked on Reach. This would confirm the vessel's presence at that battle. This radio conversation can be heard [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbLG5u92UZY&feature=youtube_gdata here].
