The UNSC Aegis Fate, Hull Classification Symbol FFG-307, is a Frigate of the UNSC Navy.[1]
Background
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.Template: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 UNSC Forward Unto Dawn.
Operational History
Fall of Reach
- Main article: Fall of Reach
The Aegis Fate was present during the Fall of Reach.[2] It was one of the few warships to escape the planet as the Covenant glassed it from orbit.
Battle of Earth
- Main article: Battle of Earth
The Aegis Fate rejoined the human fleet at Earth and fought alongside the UNSC Home Fleet during the Battle of Earth. By the time the Master Chief returned from Installation 05, it was one of the few ships left in the battered fleet.
The Aegis Fate took part in the attempt to stop the Prophet of Truth from activating the Portal.Template:Fact In the cut-scene, it can be seen firing MAC rounds at the Forerunner Dreadnought alongside the Forward Unto Dawn.Template:Fact The Aegis followed the Covenant Separatists' First Sangheilian Fleet into the portal and survived a further engagement between the Sangheili and Truth's fleet.
Battle of Installation 00
- Main article: Battle of Installation 00
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 desert regions. It is presumed that the Aegis Fate survived the battle and returned to Earth through the Portal with the surviving Separatist and UNSC forces.
Trivia
- The Aegis Fate can be seen if one looks towards the northeastern[3] patch of unclouded sky on the Halo 3 multiplayer map Template:Levelname.
- 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."
- Prior to Halo 3'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.[4]
- On the map Template:Levelname, radio chatter heard near Generator B mentions the Aegis Fate and how it is currently docked on Reach. This would confirm the vessel's presence at that battle.[2]
