The UNSC Andraste was a UNSC frigate attached to the UNSC Home Fleet.[1] Concept art for this vessel was shown in the book Art of Halo 3, as an early concept of what would evolve into the frigate Template:UNSCship. It was not featured in Halo 3 and thus it is unknown what purpose it was to have in the storyline.[2]
Trivia
- The Andraste's hull classification symbol as seen in concept art is K-201; 'K' was once a United States Navy hull classification for a corvette but has since been retired.
- Due to its hull classification sharing the same number as the Template:UNSCship (201), it is likely that the ship's design was replaced by a frigate for Halo 3.
- While the frigates in Halo 3 differ from the Andraste's design in a variety of ways, including a larger underside hangar, the initial design was more closely adapted to the UNSC heavy frigates in Halo: Reach.
- The name is likely based on Andraste, a Celtic war goddess.[3]

List of appearances
- Art of Halo 3 (First appearance)
Notes
- ^ The Art of Halo 3 identifies the Andraste as a corvette; however, this can be considered an error, as the design is virtually identical to a frigate, and Isaac Hannaford's concept art blog identifies the same concept as a frigate.
