The '''UNSC ''Atlas''''' was a [[UNSC carrier|carrier]] commissioned into the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] prior to the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2525]].


==Operational history==
'''UNSC ''Atlas''''' was an {{Class|Epoch|heavy carrier}}<ref name="CF100">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder #100: Sweet Centennial'']</ref> in service with the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] prior to the beginning of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2525]].

On April 2525, the vessel went on patrol in the [[Lambda Serpentis System|Lambda Serpentis system]]. Unknown to most of the crew, [[SPARTAN-II]]'s were onboard the ''Atlas'' to recover from their augmentations and bury their dead in the microgravity atmosphere.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 60''</ref>

Common throughout most ships in the fleet, the ''Atlas'' had a detachment of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from the [[105th Shock Troops Division|105th division]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 65''</ref> One morning, in the ship's gym, an argument between a young [[John-117]] and four marines was caused by John accidentally almost crushing a Helljumper's foot with weights. It left three of the [[ODST|ODSTs]] dead and one badly wounded. It damaged the relationship and triggered off the intense rivalry between Spartans and the Helljumpers for nearly three decades.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 67-68''</ref>

*''Atlas''<nowiki>'</nowiki> appearance changes between the comic and animated adaptations of ''The Fall of Reach''. The original design vaguely resembles the {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}. In contrast, the version seen in the animated series resembles the ''Epoch''-class heavy carrier, albeit with several elements rearranged (such as the thrusters being inverted) or absent (such as the bridge section). According to [[343 Industries]] writer [[Jeff Easterling]], the ship is canonically an ''Epoch''-class carrier, with her divergent appearances in visual media due to artistic license.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}}
