==History==

The ''Hilbert'' was built during the golden age of human colonial expansion and later refit for long-range sensing in the [[Outer Colonies]]. [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] arranged to have her daughter, [[Miranda Keyes]], assigned to serve on the ship, believing it to be the safest place for an UNSC officer to be stationed.<ref name="journal"/> However, around [[2550]], the ship became involved in the [[Battle of Gamma Pavonis VII]]. Having no weapons capable of breaching a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]]'s [[Energy shielding|energy shield]], Keyes ordered that the ''Hilbert'' ram into the enemy vessel. The resulting collision damaged the shield, allowing the ''Hilbert'' to continue onwards and crash into the vessel, proper. As the crew abandoned ship, which was now falling into [[Gamma Pavonis VII]]'s [[gravity well]], the ''Hilbert'''s [[fusion drive|fusion core]] went critical. Only two of the crew members survived - Miranda included. For her actions, Miranda Keyes was awarded a Silver Star, promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and given command of a [[UNSC frigate|frigate]], the {{UNSCship|In Amber Clad}}.<ref name="journal"/>
